in World News New Polling on Trump and Ukraine War Will Have Democrats in Full Panic Mode
by Matt Margolis
Democrats have a new nightmare on their hands, and it’s coming straight from CNN’s own polling guru, Harry Enten. His analysis of new polling data reveals that Americans are far more favorable toward Donald Trump’s leadership than Joe Biden’s—especially when it comes to handling the war in Ukraine.
Enten laid it out clearly: “I think the easiest way we can kind of just ask this is, do Americans like the way that Trump’s handling his job and compare it to how they felt about Joe Biden. So this is the net approval rating. Joe Biden back in 2024, he was 22 points underwater. Holy cow!”
By contrast, Trump sits at a net-positive approval rating of +2. “The gulf between these two is wider than the Gulf of America or Mexico, depending on which side of the aisle you stand on,” Enten quipped.
That’s a staggering reversal, considering how relentlessly the media and Biden administration tried to paint Trump as weak on Russia. Instead, Americans are signaling loud and clear that they trust Trump far more on foreign policy—and they’re turning against Biden’s blank-check approach to Ukraine.
“So, look at this particular point. Americans are giving Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt,” Enten admitted. “He’s doing considerably better than Joe Biden was doing on the handling of, of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. And so, on this simple question, I think Americans are saying, okay, Donald Trump’s doing all right on this.”
