The public's verdict seems to be in on Dmitry Medvedev. According to a new poll, only 9 percent of Russians think the president is the true leader of the country. That's 11 percent lower than last March. Thirty-six percent say that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is in charge and 47 percent think the two share power equally.

The poll can't be encouraging for Medvedev, whose new anti-corruption campaign could be a sign that he's trying to distance himself from Putin.
