An Economist/YouGov poll in December found that while only 9
percent of Trump voters had a favorable view of Obama, 35 percent had a
favorable view of Putin. In February, Gallup reported that the proportion of
Republicans viewing Putin favorably rose from 12 percent in 2015 to 32 percent
this year.
Not surprisingly, given what Putin did to defeat Hillary
Clinton, his favorability among Democrats dropped, from 15 percent in 2015 to
10 percent now. But note how unpopular Putin was with Democrats in both
surveys. What's striking is that a 3-point gap between the two parties in 2015
is now at 22 points.
