First you have to decide what you mean by last president before him.
Do you mean the guy who was keeping his seat warm up until he re-ran as he controlled things as PM, or the guy before him?
The guy before him was Boris Yeltsen. Putin I believe is more popular, though it's not that much of a differnece since they're essentially two peas in a pod.
Up until recently the main opposition party was a "back to communism" party so it's not like there has been much competition.
The current opposition party is essentially a "Get Vladmir Putin out of office" Party that's a wide coalition of different groups with different goals. Human rights, right wing parties, left wing parites, communists...
Even if they were to win, it's questionable if they would accomplish anything.
