Actually Putin has massive popular support in Russia - over 80%.

Biden’s approval rate is 46% which is the highest he’s had in a year.

Trump’s average approval rating was 41%

Rishi Sunak’s approval rating is 22%

Olaf Shcoltz’s approval rating is 55%

Macron’s approval rating is 34%

Justin Trudeau’s approval rating is 43%

I get that it’s a joke, but it reflects that western perceptions just aren’t based in reality.

The poll is from a German company. I know it’s convenient for the western narrative to believe that nobody in Russia likes Putin and that he rules out of fear, but they actually have a free press over there and Putin has over the past 23 years made massive improvements to Russia’s economy. It was Yeltsin that was a complete disaster. Most people are quite satisfied with Putin.
