Putin’s popularity skyrockets among Republicans

Posted by | December 15, 2016 17:51 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

Vladimir Putin is viewed favorably by 37% of Republicans, three times better than they view Obama.

Putin, who has been accused by the CIA of personally interfering in the US election to help Donald Trump win because he holds a ‘vendetta’ against Hillary Clinton, has seen his popularity rate increase by a staggering 56 percentage points, according to Economist/YouGov poll.

The Russian leader’s net favorability rating jumped from -66 in July 2014 to -10 in the latest survey…

Thirty-two per cent of people who identified as a Republican had a ‘somewhat favorable’ view of Putin, while five per cent said they had a ‘very favorable’ view.

Remarkably, that combined figure means almost three times as many Republicans have a favorable view of Putin as they do of President Barack Obama – who was seen that way by just 17 per cent of all GOP responders

      might have something to do with the look he gives you when he points a pretend gun at you, shoot and blow his finger. or that damn shadow that seems to disappear when you turn around.

    don’t doubt it for a minute. republiCONs are about as anti American as they were in Germany in the late 30’s.
