Russian President Vladimir Putin maintains a much lower level of global trust than his Western counterparts, according to a Pew Research Center poll published Monday. A median of 22% of respondents in 17 advanced economies including the United States said they have confidence in Putin “to do the right thing regarding world affairs,” Pew said. This year’s results mark a drop of one percentage point from 2020. Conversely, 29% of respondents said they have “not too much confidence” while 45% have no confidence at all in the Russian president on the global stage, according to the pollster. "Negative views of [Putin] are at or near historic highs in most places," the Pew Research Center said. Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, whose global confidence is even lower at a median of 20%, now hold historically low favorability gaps with German Chancellor Angela Merkel (76%) and French President Emmanuel Macron (61%). U.S. President Joe Biden (74%) in his first year in office immediately overshot his predecessor Donald Trump, who saw even lower global confidence than Putin during his tenure.

There is some evidence that they trust him as much as 3x more frequently than Democrats, although on the balance the rates are still low. I would not be surprised if Republicans trust Putin more than they trust Democrats. Hell, Donald Trump trusted Putin more than his own administration's intelligence agencies and appointed leadership so who really knows.Did I miss something? What is the evidence or RW Americans trust in Putin?
What got me was that Trump got a lower rating than Putin. Hilarious. But nationalism has got the Trump Cult taking that fact as proof they're right.

"Pew reported on Friday that 31 percent of Republicans have confidence in Putin to do "the right thing" in global affairs, compared with just 10 percent of Democrats. Overall, however, the average of 20 percent of Americans who are inclined to trust Putin constitutes a lower share than in most any other country queried by Pew in the spring 2019 survey."

The American far-right appreciates authoritarians.
"Far"? As it's always been.
There are many who lean right that are not of the radical far-right.
