Republicans Far Prefer Putin to Obama

[finnbow]

WTF? From the great patriotic, defender of freedom, shining-city-on-the-hill party? They prefer the murderous Russian autocrat to their own president?

"...37 percent of Republicans view Putin favorably, the poll found in December.

While the Russian president still has a net un-favorability rating among Republicans, his standing has improved dramatically – from a net negative of 66 points to a mere 10 points.
By comparison, only 17 percent of Republicans have a favorable view of President Barack Obama, the December poll found. Obama’s net negative among Republicans is 64 points – significantly worse than the party’s take on Putin."
