Contributing sentiments towards policy:

81% : Trump said the U.S. held "very good and productive" discussions with Putin the day before.
65% : Putin's apparently amicable tone toward the White House reflects the remarkable shift in U.S. relations with Russia and Ukraine since Trump returned to office in January.
46% : Trump vowed during his election campaign to settle the war in 24 hours, but in January he changed that timeframe, voicing hope that peace could be negotiated in six months.
41% : The Russian army, backed by North Korean troops, are now close to completely driving Ukrainian forces from their foothold in Russia's Kursk border region in what would be a major setback for Kyiv. Ukraine's General Staff, however, denied Friday that its forces in Kursk are encircled by Moscow's troops and said that any reports to that effect were "fabricated by the Russians for political manipulation and to exert pressure on Ukraine and its partners.
38% : " A possible phone call between Putin and Trump to settle outstanding ceasefire issues could be arranged after Witkoff delivers the messages in Washington, Peskov said.
29% : Trump has raised the possibility of tightening sanctions on Russia, though his administration has also repeatedly embraced Kremlin positions on the conflict, including indicating that Ukraine's hopes of joining NATO are unlikely to be realized and that it probably will not get back the land that Russia's army occupies, which amounts to nearly 20% of the country.
27% : Trump briefly cut off critical military aid and intelligence sharing in an apparent effort to push Kyiv to enter talks on ending the war.
23% : Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a tense meeting at the White House on Feb. 28 in which Trump questioned whether Ukraine wanted to halt the war.
22% : In a post on his Truth Social site Friday morning, Trump said "that there is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end," adding that Ukrainian troops are surrounded by the Russian military.
19% : Trump has threatened both Russia and Ukraine with punitive measures if they don't engage with his peace efforts.
