Only 13 percent of Republicans in New Hampshire have a ‘very favorable’ view of global HERO Volodymyr Zelensky, according to Dailymail.com 2024 primary poll, and half want to SLASH support for Ukraine

Volodymyr Zelensky is an actor turned politician whose role as the president of Ukraine put him on the front line of the war against totalitarianism.

But that doesn’t impress New Hampshire’s Republican primary voters.

Only 13 percent say they have a “very favorable” impression of the Ukrainian leader, according to a new poll for DailyMail.com, which looked at voters’ attitudes toward US support for his country’s war against Russia.

It shows how Republican voters in the state are following former President Donald Trump’s skeptical view of foreign interventions, making things tough for the likes of Mike Pence and Nikki Haley, who favor more robust policies.

According to the JL Partners poll, about 49 percent of voters said they wanted to end US aid to Ukraine. Of those, about 32 percent said they wanted to cut it down a lot.

The poll found that 34 percent of Republican voters in New Hampshire had a negative view of Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky (left), compared to 82 percent for Vladimir Putin

Only 22 percent wanted to increase aid.

But that does not mean that the respondents were sympathetic to Vladimir Putin. More than eight in ten said they had an unfavorable view of the Russian president and only four percent had a favorable attitude towards him.

Instead, it boils down to concerns about spending money abroad when there are needs at home and perceptions of Zelensky.

‘He’s corrupt. I think he’s milking the American teat a little too much,” said Matt Stemkowski, a production technician, as he waited for a council meeting with candidate Vivek Ramswamy at St Anselm College to start on Thursday.

And the Biden administration is very willing to abide by that.

“I think he’s an actor. I think he’s some kind of scammer. He is, in my opinion, as deplorable as Vladimir Putin.’

Washington has sent $40 billion in military aid to Ukraine to date — by far its largest contribution.

Allies have expressed concern that a tidal wave of America First sentiment on the right could choke off that money now that Republicans control the House of Representatives.

Republican voters are generally skeptical about the benefits of continuing US aid to Ukraine

Zelensky has been praised by world leaders. Earlier this month, he met with President Joe Biden and others at the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania

The US provided another $1.3 billion in aid to Ukraine last week. Past equipment has included the TOW missile system used here in a Kentucky exercise

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson even recently met with Trump to try and get him to reconsider his stance on the war.

James Johnson, founder of JL Partners, said the poll’s results would send a shock wave to efforts to defend Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelensky is the most popular man in the world. But among New Hampshire’s primary voters, it’s a different story,” he said.

Barely more than one in ten say they have a very positive view of him and a whopping 54 percent of Trump voters have a negative view of the Ukrainian leader.

“In a sign of the changing nature of the GOP, much of that is being driven by younger voters, with 18-35 year olds the most hostile.”

The survey of 591 registered Republicans and others planning to call for a primary ballot was conducted July 13 to 20 and has a margin of error of 3.9 percent.

Other results show that Trump remains the clear front-runner in the state, even as the rise of Tim Scott and Chris Christie has eaten away at his lead.

His vote share fell from 51 percent in April to 42 percent now. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also lost ground, falling from 18 percent to 15 percent.
