78% Americans view Putin as a strong leader; only 45% say so on Obama

Obama’s fortunes are completely gone as seen from this lstest poll

Washington Examiner: A YouGov/Economist survey of 1,000 adults interviewed March 8-10 found that 78 percent view Putin as somewhat to very strong leader. Just 45 percent see Obama the same way. Worse, more Americans, 55 percent, view Obama as a weak leader. The poll comes as the president is struggling with a response to Putin’s push into Ukraine and expectations that Crimea will break off and join.

Among Democrats, 76% see Obama as a strong leader and 70% of them say the same on Putin.

Only 45% DEMOCRATS and 18% Independents approve how Obama is handling the Ukrainian situation.

By a 55% to 20% margin, Americans think it’s unlikely Russia would back off from Ukraine even if the US imposes sanctions.

By a 45% to 43% margin Americans think “Obama has exceeded the limits of authority granted a President by the US Constitution.”
