I can't see anyone with common sense approving of Trump's performance at the summit, it was pitiful, pathetic, and disgraceful!
Washington (AFP) - A large majority of Republicans approve of President Donald Trump's handling of his Helsinki summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin despite most Americans disapproving of his performance, according to results from polls released Thursday.The dramatic party-line break in the surveys by CBS News and Axios/Survey Monkey highlight the unwavering loyalty many Republicans have for the president, regardless of how Trump's widely criticized actions are interpreted by others more broadly.
While just one third of Americans -- and eight percent of Democrats -- approve of Trump's handling of the Putin summit, fully 68 percent of Republicans approve, according to the CBS poll.
It also showed that while 70 percent of Americans overall believe US intelligence assessments that Moscow interfered in the 2016 elections, Republicans are more skeptical, with 51 percent believing that Russia meddled.
Another poll, by Axios, showed Republican support for Trump's handling of his press conference with Putin at a whopping 79 percent. Forty percent of respondents overall approved, while just seven percent of Democrats did.
Trump was severely criticized for failing to challenge Putin, a former KGB agent, during their joint press conference -- a performance US lawmakers from both parties deemed dangerous and an embarrassment.
But Trump has repeatedly branded his Putin powwow a major accomplishment. On Thursday he tweeted: "The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media."
The Axios poll was conducted online, between July 16 and 17, immediately after the summit and the joint Trump-Putin press conference, among a total sample of 2,100 adults in the United States. It has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
The CBS poll was conducted July 17 and 18 among a random sample of 1,007 adults nationwide, with an error margin of plus or minus four percentage points.

How can that not be a good thing?

Hello Darth,
You can get your information from multiple sources or you can blindly trust one person.
I choose the multiple sources.
Fools choose one person.
We must be informed, not fooled.
Trust is a wonderful thing, but it must be verified.
The reason Trump thinks the media is our enemy is because it does not verify what he says.
You need to think about that.

They stopped using their brains when they chose Trump over Kasich.
It's a shame.

I think it is a reichwing-thing.Polls: Most Republicans approve of Trump's Putin performance
Even at the very end of George Dumbya's presidency, polling indicated the vast majority of Republicans thought Bush was doing a great job.
That's right. Republicans thought the worst president of the last century was doing a good job. They thought a president who blundered us into two failed wars, and took us to the very edge of a Second Great Republican Depression was doing a great job.
I know this would be illegal, but it almost suggests that employers have a right to know if job applicants are registered Republicans. Because it would be good to be aware of people who support incompetence, people who value ignorance, and people who are averse to simple, objective and observable facts.
