The Left can’t catch a break. They lost and are only losing more and more.
Now a shocking test result made Democrats go pale as ghosts.
After a tense Feb. 28 face-off in the Oval Office pitting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy against President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance over Ukraine’s war with Russia and U.S.-Ukraine ties, a new survey reveals Americans largely nodding in favor of Trump and Vance’s stance.
The Wick poll tapped 1,000 registered U.S. voters, tasking them with watching an 11-minute video of the heated exchange and sharing their reactions.
Even before the footage rolled, most of these voters were already leaning toward a pragmatic endgame: Ukraine should negotiate peace, even if it means giving up some turf to seal the deal.
Pre-video vibes showed Zelenskyy with a slight edge in likability — 35.4% gave him a “very favorable” nod, just ahead of Trump’s 34.6% and Vance’s 29.8%.
But the real shift came post-viewing. Opinions on how the trio handled the Oval Office clash split fairly evenly: about 60% gave Zelenskyy’s conduct a thumbs-up, while roughly 50% backed Trump and Vance.
Where it got interesting? Nearly half the respondents — 49% — saw Trump and Vance’s push for compromise and diplomacy with Russia as the sharper play, compared to just 37% who vibed with Zelenskyy’s hardline no-concessions stance. A neutral 14% called it a draw.
The fireworks peaked when Zelenskyy warned that, despite an ocean buffering the U.S. from Europe’s woes, America would “feel it in the future.”
Trump bristled at that jab — and so did 62% of the poll’s viewers, siding with his pushback.
Meanwhile, 49% saw Trump and Vance’s peace pitch as genuine, outpacing the 42% who weren’t sold.
Voters also overwhelmingly felt the U.S., not Ukraine, holds the upper hand in steering talks to end the conflict.
Then there was Trump’s post-meeting social media drop. About 50% rated it “excellent” or “very good,” 20% called it “good” or “fair,” and just 10% shrugged it off as “poor.”
The statement clearly struck a chord.
Wick co-founder David Burrell, chatting with Mark Halperin on The Diner, explained their method: they pay folks to weigh in, balancing the partisan mix to mirror the last election’s voter split. Fair game, clear data.
In the end, the poll paints a picture of Americans warming to Trump and Vance’s steady-handed approach — favoring talks over stalemates — while still giving Zelenskyy his due.
It’s a snapshot of a nation leaning toward peace, with Trump’s camp quietly gaining ground.
