CNN —Democrats welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Capitol Hill earlier Thursday, while Republicans were far more split.
At the beginning of the war, Zelensky sported a 77% favorability rating among Democrats and a 61% favorability rating among Republicans, according to a March 2022 Quinnipiac University poll.
A July 2023 Gallup poll found that Zelensky’s favorability rating with Republicans had declined to 51%.
In fact, Russia’s favorability rating among Republicans – and Democrats – has declined significantly from a few years ago.
For example, Republicans were more likely than Democrats to say that the Korean War was “useless,” according to a 1951 Gallup poll.
