I'm not sure where you got the figure from but I looked it up and the polling seems messy. But I guess 3/4 of Republicans having an unfavorable view of Putin as reported by PBS is something that doesn't make me lose hope in humanity today. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-adults-split-along-party-lines-in-support-for-ukraine-military-aid-ap-norc-poll-finds

Editing to add these pretty graphs by Pew Research that show nothing surprising: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/08/views-of-ukraine-and-u-s-involvement-with-the-russia-ukraine-war/
