"SNIP......

A new Pew Research poll finds Russian President Vladimir Putin receives dismal ratings, with only 6% of American adults expressing confidence in him following his decision to invade Ukraine – an all-time low in surveys going back nearly two decades.


Taegan Goddard:

It seems that Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson praising the Russian leader might not be good politics.

"Which TV channel is your primary source of news?"

If people say "Fox News" or any of the RW news outlets, Pew should hang up. Interview is over.

He's not our President; he's Rusher's.

What does an American's confidence in a foreign despot matter? Does anyone need confidence in the Junta in Burma? Xi in China? Idriss Deby of Chad?

Weird poll question.

I have confidence he's a bloody tyrant, he's a danger to the world, he is a ruthless despot willing to destroy and kill innocents to salve his ego.

So should I answer "Yes"?

How about a plain old "Approve or Disapprove"?
