If he polls that badly he won't go into elections. Putin (and others on the top of Russian political leadership) are genuine patriots and wish the best for the country. The reason why Putin's policy is bold is because his popularity ratings are high.
Plus we would need to see a sensible alternative for Putin for him to loose in 2018. And who that may be (other than the well known faces of current elites)?
