Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump share the same favorability rating among Americans, but Trump’s unfavorability mark is nearly double, a new Economist/YouGov poll shows.
Newsweek on Wednesday reached out to the White House about Trump’s poll ratings.
Why It Matters
Trump has taken aim at Zelensky this week, bashing the Ukrainian president for his slipping favorability in Ukrainian polls, and falsely claiming he has a 4 percent approval rating.
The U.S. president has frequently questioned the aid sent to Ukraine under the Biden administration, wondering why other countries have not stepped up as much. In a news conference this week, Trump also incorrectly said that Ukraine started the war with Russia.
