Moscow: Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's ruling party suffered a big decline in Russia's parliamentary election on Sunday, winning less than half of votes cast, according to the two biggest exit polls published after voting closed.
According to the poll from state pollster VTsIOM, Putin's United Russia party won 48.5 per cent of the vote followed by the Communists with 19.8 per cent, LDPR with 11.4 per cent and Just Russia with 12.8 per cent.
An exit poll by FOM shown on state television showed United Russia won 46 per cent, a result which the pollster projected would give the party just 220 of the 450 State Duma seats, far below the 315 seats it won in the last election in 2007.
