President Donald Trump may have entered the White House with the historic disapproval of the American public, but at least one country has his back: Russia. In a state-supported poll, just 4 percent of Russians said that they didn't think Trump would be a good president. On the other hand, more than 70 percent said that Trump would be at least "competent," The Moscow Times reports, with 40 percent saying they had "high expectations."

By comparison, most Russians in the poll disapproved of former President Barack Obama, with 81 percent viewing him negatively.

The poll reached 1,800 Russians between Jan. 20-22, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent.
