A recent AP-NORC poll highlights growing domestic opposition to former U.S. President Donald Trump's renewed efforts to acquire Greenland, exposing rare fractures within Republican ranks. Conducted this month, the survey shows 70% of American adults disapprove of Trump's approach toward the Arctic territory, surpassing disapproval rates for his broader foreign policy.
While Trump maintains that Greenland's strategic location bolsters U.S. national security interests, only 24% of respondents endorsed his methods. Notably, Republican voters appear evenly split, with 50% approving and 50% disapproving of the proposal to incorporate the self-governing Danish territory.
The poll, conducted from February 5-8 with 1,156 participants, carries a ±3.9% margin of error. Analysts suggest the findings could signal vulnerabilities in Trump's political strategy as Arctic geopolitics gain prominence in 2026.
