According to the latest public opinion poll released by the Associated Press, about 70 percent of Americans oppose the United States taking control of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.
Among Republicans who support U.S. President Donald Trump, about 50 percent are opposed to the United States acquiring Greenland. The Associated Press noted that, so far, very few people in the United States have publicly expressed support for the plan to take control of Greenland.
Only about 24% of American adults approve of Trump’s approach to Greenland. Among Republicans, opinions are notably more divided; roughly half disapprove of the attempt to incorporate the icy territory into the United States.
The survey indicated that his approval ratings among Republicans on this issue are substantially lower than for other critical subjects, such as the economy and immigration, where support exceeds 80%. Notably, around 70% of Republicans approve of Trump’s overall foreign policy stance.
Furthermore, younger Republicans take a particularly critical stance toward Trump’s handling of the Greenland situation. About 60% of Republicans under 45 disapprove of his leadership on this issue, compared with roughly 40% of older Republicans. The approval rating for Trump’s actions related to Greenland is markedly lower than the approval levels among younger Republicans on issues such as foreign policy, the economy, and immigration.

There is only one poll that matters: President Donald J. Trump.
“It’s a REALLY big border”
Seems like Trump has given up on the outright purchase idea in recent weeks, so maybe it’s moot. But who the hells cares what the public thinks? They’re largely ignorant on the underlying issues. The Alaska purchase had no shortage of critics, and they obviously turned out to be wrong.
CTGN? China Government run media. ( AP lies, but this is worse propaganda)
Sure China would love Greenland.
There is a good reason that President Trump is strongly trying to make a deal with Greenland.
AP = Always Propaganda
He never dreamed he could purchase it...but then again...we purchased Alaska...
“There is only one poll that matters: President Donald J. Trump.”
Many people don’t understand we don’t live in a mob ocracy
The Trump administration seems unwilling to state the best argument out loud: We need to get control of Greenland now, before Europe falls fully under the sway of Islam — at that point, it may be too late.
Many people don’t understand we don’t live in a mob ocracy
And some people don't understand that we don't live in an autocracy.
In a Constitutional republic, it's always more than "one man" whose opinions matters. In this case, the Senate must ratify foreign treaties.
“ And some people don’t understand that we don’t live in an autocracy.”
What’s your point?
The president needs approval of the Congress for this
Do they mention this:
“Congress must approve the acquisition of new territory, with the Senate requiring a two-thirds vote for treaty ratification.”
“As of late 2025 and early 2026, the electorate’s approval of Congress remains very low, with recent polling indicating approval ratings for the institution hovering between 14% and 16%, and disapproval rates exceeding 75%. This reflects deep, widespread dissatisfaction with Congress’s performance and low confidence in the institution.”
Trump’s ‘opinion’ is based in facts regarding security of our country (including others in our hemisphere) and what is needed to achieve these goals. Sorry, not sorry that he goes ballz to the wall in trying to accomplish this mission. Prayers that he is successful.
And Congress has a 14% approval. They want them to oversee Trump. Okay.
90% of Americans told Steve Jobs that they didn’t see the need for a cell phone that took photos, played music, accessed the internet. This is why we have leaders.
CGTN, or China Global Television Network, is widely described as a state-run media outlet operated under the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It functions as an international arm of China Central Television (CCTV) and is designed to promote Chinese government narratives globally.
Why post crap from an obvious propaganda outlet?
The true story of All news is the unwritten “in between the written” (imho), though the true story never falls “in the middle” (imho). Controversy …. Thank You for Your Post.
Over 50% of Republicans oppose the Louisiana Purchase, The Purchase of Alaska and the Purchase of the South West from Mexico.(sarc.)
And they happened a long time ago.
These REPUBLIKANZ are non existent, imaginary, and very badly needed by the leftists who want America to fail.
SO they use selective sampling to get their numbers and think they fool everyone.
Soon these wealthy polling lefties will be investing in mining operations in Greenland.
