Confidence in Trump's Ukraine decisions falls

A March 2026 Pew survey of 3,507 U.S. adults finds overall confidence that President Trump can make good decisions about the Russia–Ukraine war dropped from 40% in August 2025 to 32% in March 2026, with a 13‑point fall among Republicans and a 4‑point fall among Democrats. The decline accompanies partisan splits about how much U.S. support Ukraine should receive and whether the war matters personally to voters. — Falling presidential credibility on a major foreign‑policy issue can reshape public support for aid and military posture, influence midterm/2026 electoral dynamics, and alter intra‑party debates about strategy toward Russia and NATO.
