Poll: 56% of Americans would oppose Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize

n recent months, President Trump has made no secret of his desire to win a Nobel Peace prize, saying he just wants “to be treated fairly” for "stopp[ing] seven wars.”

“They're big ones too," Trump told the Daily Caller last week.

But as the president continues his high-profile effort to end the fighting between Russia and Ukraine, a new Yahoo/YouGov poll shows that a majority of Americans (56%) would oppose his winning the award — while just 29% would favor it.

The survey of 1,690 U.S. adults was conducted from Aug. 29 to Sept. 2, shortly after Trump’s back-to-back meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Respondents were also asked which of two possible explanations would “come closest to the truth” if Trump doesn’t end up winning the 2025 Nobel Peace prize when it is announced next month.
