Published



I find this result from the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll a bit disturbing:

A third of Americans — 33 percent — say that Trump’s relationship with Putin is “too friendly,” while 24 percent disagree. But among Democrats, 63 percent deem the relationship “too friendly,” while just seven percent of Republicans say the same.

The divide is even more stark specifically among Clinton and Trump voters. Sixty-nine percent of Clinton voters — but just five percent of Trump voters — say that Trump is too cozy with Putin.
