Leaders Americans love — and hate

 Axios - Republicans and Democrats alike are bigger fans of Prince William and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky than many of their own political leaders, a new Gallup poll shows.  First Lady Jill Biden and Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts were the only two Americans in the survey to score positive ratings.

After nearly 250 years of independence, Americans seem to pine for England. Both Prince William and King Charles III of the U.K. enjoy relatively high — and bipartisan — favorability with Americans.You rarely see this kind of agreement in U.S. polls: Prince William is beloved by 65% of Republicans, 63% of Democrats. King Charles? 50% of Republicans, 49% of Democrats. Ukraine's Zelensky is favored by half of Republicans — but is even more popular with Democrats (75%). The most disliked public figure on the list is Russian President Vladimir Putin, with 90% of respondents viewing him unfavorably — the worst rating Gallup has ever recorded for him.
