Rising trust: Ukrainians show strong support for Trump
Over 44 percent of surveyed Ukrainians claim to trust U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, significantly more than in all European countries.
The survey was conducted on behalf of the New Europe Center. 44.6 percent of respondents expressed trust in Trump, which is much higher than in other countries. For comparison, 16 percent of French and 30 percent of British people trust Trump.
Ukrainians trust Trump
According to the Ukrainian Pravda Service, the high trust in Trump may negatively impact the approach to the current President, Joe Biden, who, along with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has so far been highly ranked among foreign leaders.
Last year, the New Europe Center conducted a similar survey, asking which of the two American leaders Ukrainians sympathized with more. At that time, Biden was the undisputed leader with a score of 78.1 percent, and only 10.1 percent of respondents sided with Trump.
Info Sapiens surveyed on behalf of the New Europe Center from November 15 to November 27, 2024. The survey sample consists of 1,000 respondents, and the theoretical sampling error does not exceed 3.1 percent, with a probability of 95 percent.
