While that is generally still the case today, favorable opinions of Russia and Putin have declined sharply among Europe\u2019s populists following Russia\u2019s military invasion of Ukraine, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decline in favorable views of Russia and Putin has been especially pronounced among populists in Italy, which will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-62726468\">hold an election on Sept. 25<\/a> to determine if the far-right Brothers of Italy party \u2013 backed by two other right-wing populist parties, Lega and Forza Italia \u2013 will lead the winning coalition. Favorable opinions of Russia have declined by 49 percentage points among supporters of Lega and Forza Italia since 2020 \u2013 the biggest decrease of any measured in the Center\u2019s analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-12131\" href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2022\/09\/23\/among-european-right-wing-populists-favorable-views-of-russia-and-putin-are-down-sharply\/ft_2022-09-23_russiaputin_01-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f3f3f2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f3f3f2;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_01.png?resize=480,446 480w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_01.png?resize=782,727 782w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_01.png?resize=960,893 960w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_01.png?resize=1200,1116 1200w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_01.png?resize=1280,1190 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"595\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_01.png?w=640\" alt=\"A chart showing that favorability toward Russia has dropped sharply among Europe\u2019s right-wing populists.\" class=\"wp-image-12131 not-transparent\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, positive ratings of Russia dropped by 15 points or more among supporters of most right-wing populist parties in Europe between 2020 and 2022. In France, for example, a majority of National Rally supporters (55%) held a favorable view of Russia in 2020, but just about a fifth (21%) do so now \u2013 a drop of 34 points. In Hungary, which was last surveyed in 2019, and Germany, supporters of Fidesz and Alternative for Germany (AfD) also have become less positive toward Russia, with favorability dropping 15 points in both countries.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"border-width:1px;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);--block-gap: inherit\" class=\"wp-block-prc-block-collapsible has-background has-ui-beige-very-light-background-color has-border-color has-ui-beige-dark-border-color\" id=\"how-we-did-this\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/collapsible&quot;}\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;collapsibleId&quot;:&quot;how-we-did-this&quot;,&quot;isOpen&quot;:false}\" data-wp-class--is-open=\"context.isOpen\" data-wp-init--scroll-into-view=\"callbacks.onInitScrollIntoView\"><div class=\"wp-block-prc-block-collapsible__title\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.onClick\"><div>How we did this<\/div><button class=\"wp-block-prc-block-collapsible__icon\"><span data-wp-bind--hidden=\"context.isOpen\"><i class=\"icon icon-library__light icon__circle-plus\"><svg style=\"width: 1em; height: 1em;\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/plugins\/prc-icon-library\/build\/icons\/sprites\/light.svg#circle-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i><\/span><span data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!context.isOpen\" hidden><i class=\"icon icon-library__light icon__circle-minus\"><svg style=\"width: 1em; height: 1em;\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/plugins\/prc-icon-library\/build\/icons\/sprites\/light.svg#circle-minus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-prc-block-collapsible__content\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Pew Research Center analysis focuses on the decline in right-wing populist party favorability of Russia and confidence in Russian President Vladimir Putin across many of the 14 European political parties included in the survey. For more information on how we classify European populist parties, see <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2022\/08\/31\/global-threats-appendix-classifying-european-political-parties\/\">Appendix<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data collection began a week prior to Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. In Poland and Hungary, data collection began on March 25 and April 19, respectively. All other countries began fieldwork the same day as or shortly after the invasion. Due to the time it takes to translate, program and test questions on our international surveys, we prioritized gathering data at the start of this significant international event rather than delaying or pausing, fieldwork to add questions specifically about the war or the actions taken by world leaders in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For non-U.S. data, this analysis draws on nationally representative surveys of 12,420 adults fielded from Feb. 14 to June 3, 2022. All surveys were conducted over the phone with adults in Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Surveys were conducted face to face in Hungary and Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the United States, we surveyed 3,581 U.S. adults from March 21 to 27, 2022. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories. Read more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/our-methods\/u-s-surveys\/the-american-trends-panel\/\">ATP\u2019s methodology<\/a>.

The trend is again particularly pronounced in Italy, where supporters of right-wing populist parties Lega and Forza Italia saw the largest recorded loss of confidence in Putin (-52 and -41 points, respectively).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Sweden, where the right-wing Sweden Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/14\/world\/europe\/sweden-election-result-right.html\">just became<\/a> a controlling party in the government, 9% of Sweden Democrats supporters offer a positive rating of the Russian leader in 2022. This represents a 21-point decrease in confidence from 2021. Double-digit drops in confidence occurred among supporters of 13 of the 14 right-wing parties tracked in our survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-12138\" href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2022\/09\/23\/among-european-right-wing-populists-favorable-views-of-russia-and-putin-are-down-sharply\/ft_2022-09-23_russiaputin_02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f3f3f2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f3f3f2;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_02.png?resize=480,440 480w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_02.png?resize=782,716 782w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_02.png?resize=960,879 960w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_02.png?resize=1200,1099 1200w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_02.png?resize=1280,1172 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"586\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.23_russiaputin_02.png?w=640\" alt=\"A chart showing that confidence in Putin decreased among right-wing populists, especially in Italy.\" class=\"wp-image-12138 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"european-right-wing-populists-remain-more-positive-toward-russia-putin-than-other-europeans\">European right-wing populists remain more positive toward Russia, Putin than other Europeans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While favorable views of Russia and Putin have decreased sharply among supporters of right-wing populist parties in Europe, these parties\u2019 supporters continue to be more likely than other Europeans to see Russia and Putin in a positive light.

Double-digit differences are also present in Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Notably, Hungarians with a favorable view of Jobbik \u2013 a right-wing populist party that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-hungary-election-jobbik\/hungarys-jobbik-eyes-election-gains-after-ditching-far-right-views-idUSKBN1GY2BT\">moved steadily toward the center<\/a> in opposition to Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his ruling Fidesz party \u2013 are less likely to have a positive opinion of Putin than Jobbik nonsupporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For three right-wing populist parties included in the survey \u2013 Lega in Italy, Vox in Spain and Law and Justice (PiS) in Poland \u2013 supporters do not differ meaningfully from nonsupporters in their current views of Russia and Putin.
