During his second term, levying high tariffs on imports from across the globe and attempting to end Russia’s war in Ukraine have been Donald Trump’s two most significant international undertakings. Voters in a new Quinnipiac University poll gave Trump poor ratings on both policies.
“Among the issues Quinnipiac asked about—immigration, trade, the economy, Israel-Gaza and universities—Trump’s numbers are the worst on Russia-Ukraine, and they also are the worst among Republicans,” says Brian Taylor, professor of political science and director of the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs.
“I think these results ultimately reflect the basic understanding of most Americans that Russia started the war, Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night and Russia opposes a ceasefire,” says Taylor. “Yet Trump refuses to put the blame on Putin and Russia and take steps to help Ukraine, such as sanctioning Russian oil more and providing military assistance to Ukraine.”
