The Democrats would like you to believe that President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance blew it in the Friday meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky.
Pollster Frank Luntz took an admittedly unscientific poll on X and found that respondents overwhelmingly supported Trump/Vance, as one might expect. As Luntz noted, the opinion of the American people has changed on Zelensky over the past three years, and now "a majority of Americans oppose the war and Zelensky is now a controversial character."
Now CNN's data nerd Harry Enten has some scientific polling data that backs up Luntz, that the American people are supportive of Trump when it comes to the question of Ukraine.
First, Enten looked at how the polling showed Trump was doing on Ukraine compared to how Biden had been performing. That did not go well for the former president.
A little bit of a reality check for some:

-Trump's net approval on Russia/Ukraine (+2) is far more positive than Biden's was by the end (-22).
-The share (31% to 50%) who want a compromise in the war is way up
-The share who say Russia is an enemy is way down (64% to 34%). pic.twitter.com/z6k0x6A1yn
Biden was 22 points underwater. "Holy Cow!" Enten exclaimed.
Trump was up, +2, Enten said, throwing in a bit of a joke, "It's just a different planet entirely; the gulf between these two was wider than the Gulf of America or Mexico, depending on which side of the aisle you stand on."
Americans are giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, and he's doing considerably better than Biden when it comes to Ukraine.
There was more. As Enten explains, "The share (31% percent to 50%) who want a compromise in the war is way up. The share who say Russia is an enemy is way down (64% to 34%)."
What does that mean? Americans don't want money just poured out without an end in sight -- that was Biden, now Trump wants a resolution. That's a big number indicating where people are on the issue -- they're pro our own interests and against endless war.
Now it's not clear how much the Zelensky blow-up is factored into this number; the poll ended on the same day as the showdown. But on the broader question, it's clear the American people are willing to give Trump the grace to come to a resolution and that they've rejected the Biden/Democrats approach to just keep pouring out money with no resolution.
So once again, Democrats and the chattering class are clueless as to where Americans are on these issues, and they just keep digging their hole deeper. As with the economy, the simple response would be to stand with Trump and the United States. But instead, the Democrats are standing with Zelensky, supporting foreign nations over our own best interests in the matter. Not a good look.

Just one more issue in which they are way out of touch with the American people.
