Voters think President Trump is getting more aggressive with Russia, but most continue to believe it’s better to have the former Soviet Union as a friend than an enemy.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey shows that 56% of Likely U.S. Voters agree that “… having Russia in a friendly posture, as opposed to always fighting with them, is an asset to the world and an asset to our country, not a liability.” Just 24% disagree, but 19% are undecided.
