I'm all for better relations with Russia, but I don't view Putin favorably in any way.

This poll shows that some people have gone from viewing Putin unfavorably to now viewing him favorably...why do you think that's all of a sudden happening?

It's a small percentage (most Republicans dislike him), but the timing of the increase is...convenient.

Fantastic. These people want a big boy to tell them what to do. Yesah, massah. Personally, I'd kill Putin. He's a murderous , girly man, poisoning because he doesn't have the balls to do the wet work, *****.

He locked up a band of girls because they pissed him off. Obama put him in his seat, and he loves the new President that he helped to elect. except, maybe not so much. Pootie Poot ( as Bush used to call him) just ordered a psych profile on the reality tv guy you people elected.

You guys lit the fire. Now we all get to watch the world burn.

But admiring Putin and thinking he is your BFF could definitely be a bad thing.
Yes, it is the "praise & admire" approach from the Trump admin, which has reasonable people worried.

It COULD be his backing of Assad against an ISIS takeover. People might see what has happened when strong armed dictators of relatively stable governments are replaced with chaos and Muslim radicals.

Yet they create title Putin's Popularity Soars Among Republicans.
Its Gallup poll. [MOD CUT/rude]

Soaring means increasing from what it was before.

Putins popularity is soaring among Republicans. Its a fact.

No, your wording is all wrong.

The number of Republicans who view Putin favorably is soaring.

There is a difference.

I'm guessing it's due to Syria.

More than 70% of Republicans hate Putin. That is unchanged and is a fact no matter how you try to spin it.

You were duped by WaPo.

Yes we do have the McCain Republicans. Together with Democrats we may prevent the capitulation.
