The Public Opinion Foundation cites similar figures. According to a survey conducted between February 28 and March 2, the level of trust Russians have in Putin has remained at the same consistently high level of 81%.

The level of distrust in the head of state has decreased by 1 percentage point and now stands at 10% compared to 11% a week earlier.

57% of respondents rated the government’s work positively, which is 1 percentage point more than last week. 23% responded that the Cabinet of Ministers is working rather poorly. This figure also increased by 1 percentage point compared to last week.

In January of this year, commenting on the results of sociological surveys, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, noted that, even despite small fluctuations in the indicators, the head of state enjoys enormous support from the population.

‘Here, in general, nothing changes. You know that there is minor volatility, both positive and negative. It can be stated that even if we abstract from this minor volatility, Putin, of course, enjoys enormous support from the population,’ the Kremlin spokesman said.

According to a poll by Ipsos, 45% of Americans approve of the job US President Donald Trump is doing a month after taking office.

Meanwhile, 53% of respondents disapprove of Trump’s performance, and 57% of those polled believe he has overstepped his authority since taking office.

‘The president’s supporters applaud him for deporting undocumented immigrants and cutting government spending,’ the publication notes.

At the same time, many Americans oppose the tariffs imposed by Trump on imported goods.

About 60% of respondents believe that tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico will have a negative impact, while about 45% do not support tariffs on Chinese goods.
