    Vladimir Putin’s popularity is soaring among Republicans


    Vladimir Putin is on a bit of a hot streak among Republicans of late.

    In new Gallup polling, more than 3 in 10 Republicans have a favorable view of Putin — almost three times the percentage who said the same in 2015. Twice as many independents have a favorable opinion of Putin as did two years ago. Those numbers have helped bump Putin's overall approval numbers to their highest mark in five years.

    Headline is a bit misleading. I wouldn't consider a 30% popularity rating as "soaring". However the rate of increasing positive feeling toward Putin, 3X what it was 2 years ago is alarming.
