Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his iconic green T-shirt have become recognizable figures on the world stage in the weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine. The television star-turned-wartime president has used social media to boost his country’s morale and won standing ovations at virtual addresses to governments around the world.
Now, a new survey puts a finer point on just how much support he has from the American public.
Some 72% of Americans have either some or a lot of confidence in Zelenskyy to do the right thing regarding international affairs, according to the Pew Research Center — a much higher number than for other world leaders, including U.S. President Biden.
Within that group, 33% have the highest level of confidence in Zelenskyy’s leadership abilities. Older Americans are much more likely to hold those views than younger generations, as are those with more education (especially postgraduate degrees). There are faint divides along partisan lines, with Democrats and Democrat-leaners slightly more likely than Republicans and Republican-leaners to have confidence in Zelenskyy (80% vs. 67%).
Notably, Zelenskyy’s domestic approval rating had dropped in the leadup to Russia’s invasion, but a poll from inside Ukraine shows it has risen sharply in recent weeks.
I have more respect for Putin than Biden. At least Putin looks out for the Russian people. Biden could care less about the American people !
Zelensky speaks without pre printed notes and emits confidence to his listeners.
Biden is obviously in the beginning stages of dementia and his supporters have put their positions in government ahead of what is best for America.
I have more respect ,or a mangy dog than I do for Biden,.
There is absolutely no respect or confidence in Biden or Hunter the wokes, the Clintons, Pelosi, Schumer and the squad of young women who would not understand truth, faith, or any form of patriots or real Americans. They are out only to make names for themselves and their opinions no thought of history and justice.
Zelenskyy was a comedian and actor but at least he has held real jobs in his life. That’s a lot more than Uncle Joe who had never held a real job. So yeah, I trust Zelenskyy a lot more than Biden.
The Russian Army is made up of street thugs, criminals, and borderline retards abandoned as children in institutions much like our own. The Ukrainians are kicking their asses and turning over their bodies and finding pockets full of condoms as if they were sold the idea this would be some great rape fest occupation. People here are actually cheering on Putin. Make Russia Great Again. The free world has lost its mind.
