Pollster Frank Luntz conducted a series of shock polls--albeit somewhat unscientific ones--on the X platform after Zelensky suffered a total freakout in the Oval Office meet-up with President Trump and VP Vance--and he released the final results on Saturday. As I highlight here, the polling is not real, but it's worth mulling over a snapshot like this, I think. And whatever your opinion on Luntz's biases, stick with me here.
As you'll see shortly, the Democrats will hate how many people answered, with the heat of a thousand dying suns--and what Luntz says it means for Tuesday's Joint Address to Congress will put a yuge smile on Pres. Trump's face. In case you missed the, well, incident on Friday, here are the latest stories at RedState:
----- SNIP -----
Hoo boy, there are a few things to digest here, as Luntz writes in his analysis, which he published to X late Saturday evening: [Emphasis original]
The United States isn’t changing…
It has changed.
Three years ago, Americans were overwhelmingly supportive of Ukraine and they considered Zelensky to be a global hero. Today, a majority of Americans oppose the war and Zelensky is now a controversial character.
President Trump is on his way to being the most impactful, consequential president since FDR. And his supporters are more loyal to him than any president since Andrew Jackson.
To be clear: I am not making a judgment on either Ukraine, Zelensky, or President Trump. I am merely noting what the polls are saying.

Even Putin is beating the hapless Zelensky by 52% to 48% in the "At this point in the Russia-Ukraine war, whom are you more sympathetic towards?"
That fight in the Oval Office did some good.
ANYONE siding with that VERY RUDE PUNK TWIT is STUPID!
Donald is very good at getting the rats to take the 20 side of every 80/20 issue.
LOL
grifter Z-ski should have worn a suit!
EU folks will be swallowing their vomit
90%
52-48
I can’t under a United States Senator not backing the United States President over the Ukrainian President who was shouting at the President and VP in the Oval Office. Hatred for Trump has turned very quickly and very noticeably into hatred for America
When you (Zelensky) get out of the car looking like a Schubb before the very man you come to do big business with, Well then you ARE AN Idiot and a Huge Fool! His whole manner was not only disrespectful of the President and Vice President, but he disrespected US as well. We are the ones who have been footing his wars!
The commies really dont get it..the 20 percent of commies who want to suck on Zelenskyy’s nutsack the rest of us have actual LIVES and don’t want OUR money going to Ukraine where it’s only being used for money laundering..we care about the economy, things are expensive here, we want that solved.as far as the Ukraine war goes, its not the most important thing right now..what is the MOST important is fixing our economy bring down the cost of eggs, food, housing, gas, everything..do that and you can deal with the war later
This is their cat’s paw to break through President Trump’s favorability numbers. They need him to fail.
Everybody knows it. The media, the politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, EVERYBODY knows the game that’s being played, and this is illustrious of their total lack of concern for the millions of people who could die — especially if they get their way and make the destruction of Russia and Putin their primary objective.
Everybody is holding their breathe: Is this it? Will this AstroTurfed slander stick where so many others have failed? Will the public forget about how we tried to gaslight them on Biden’s mental decline? Have we been quick enough, thorough enough to bamboozle the rubes like we used to?
Stay tuned.
The Democrats don’t give a s___ about Ukraine, only because they know it’s the one issue that does divide Republicans to a degree.
If Trump supported Ukraine by sending them arms, they would accuse Trump of being a warmonger.
That White House represents America and Trump represents America as well. Showing disrespect to both of them is disrespectful to all of us.
the oval office meeting reminded me of the debates with Hillary Clinton in 2016.
it doesn’t surprise me non-Maga folks are responding well to Trump here.
It doesn't take a shrink to recognize oppositional defiance behavior.
Neve supported this stupid war… no that doesn’t mean I support Russia. They should not have invaded. But once Ukraine beat back the initial incursion and showed Russia it was going to be costly to fight this Ukraine should have immediately been at the bargaining table.
Z is a moron to the Nth degree, period. Let himself be played by everyone.
“The issue is never the issue.”
right
anything to prevent Trump from getting a win
“His whole manner was not only disrespectful of the President and Vice President, but he disrespected US as well.”
Generally, it’s hard to imagine swaggering from a wee little man (and a wee little man was he), but this dolt pulled it off. There’s something off in his genetic makeup to have such a inflated view of himself when he’s a big fat nothing.
It would be humorous if his existence and actions weren’t incredibly dangerous on the world stage.
Zelenskyy is a POS, just a shorter version of the corrupt Joe Biden. Maybe we should thank Zelenskyy because he has shown to all Americans what a disaster the Democrat Party has become. The Dems would rather have war, not peace, and they hate President Trump to such an extreme that they would see America destroyed. They are traitors.
We supported Ukraine when they were defending against the invading Russian army trying to seize Kyiv.
Three years later, the war is no longer fought in the outskirts of Kyiv. Now it is being fought in the Donbass.
It can easily last for another decade.
As far as the folk who are not political junkies go, they could care less about taking a side between Putin and Z.
They know it is a stupid and unnecessary war not unlike all the other stupid wars that taxpayers have funded since WWII.
I caught the clip of Bream interviewing Gabbard and that stupid witch was trying to get Gabbard to take a side and kept asking how bad a guy she thought Putin was.
Gabbard handled the stupid witch quite well and spoke for and represented the people who have mandated Trump to get a peace deal while not fretting over what might be the details.
>>I can’t under a United States Senator not backing the United States President over the Ukrainian President who was shouting at the President and VP in the Oval Office. Hatred for Trump has turned very quickly and very noticeably into hatred for America<<
That’s always been the case with the secular left.
