CNN: Americans’ Trust in Zelenskyy Dropped from 72% to Under 48%

EXCERPT:

ENTEN: "Holy Toledo, look at this trend line here. U.S. support for Ukraine is too much. Back when the war began, back in February of 2022, it was just 7%. Up like a rocket ship, my goodness. Up now, in February 2025, to 41%, and the clear majority of Republicans — and, of course, Republicans are in charge of the U.S. government now, 62% of Republicans say that the U.S. support for Ukraine is too much. What a difference from just 3 years ago. I can remember, John, all those backyards in the United States with their Ukrainian flags. Far fewer of them today as Americans’ opinions on Ukraine have changed dramatically."
BERMAN: "What about opinions of the Ukrainian president?"

ENTEN: "Right, you know, obviously, if you would expect changes amongst the public on feelings towards Ukraine, feelings towards Zelenskyy have changed also dramatically. Look at this: Confidence Zelenskiy will do the right thing when it comes to world affairs, back in 2022 it was the clear majority, 72%. Through the floor, through The Floor by 2024. Just 48% of Americans say that they’re confident that Zelenskyy will do right thing when comes to world affairs. And GOP confidence has also plummeted dramatically now. Now the clear majority Republicans are not confident, not confident that Zelenskyy will do the right thing when It comes to world affairs. Really a real trend line, ones you rarely see in American public when it comes Ukraine’s Zelenskyy. Confidence in both going down to the ground."
