76 percent of Americans say Trump does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize

As President Donald Trump continues his campaign to win a Nobel Peace Prize, Americans are broadly skeptical that he merits the honor. A Washington Post-Ipsos poll this month finds 76 percent of Americans say Trump doesn’t deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize, compared with 22 percent who say he does.

The finding may not be surprising given most Americans disapprove of Trump’s performance, including 60 percent who give him negative marks for his handling of the war between Russia and Ukraine and 58 percent who disapprove his handling of Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.

Fellow Republicans are on the fence about whether Trump deserves the peace prize: 49 percent say yes, while 49 percent say no. Just 14 percent of independents and 3 percent of Democrats say Trump deserves the award.

If there’s any consolation for the current president, the Post-Ipsos poll also found that 54 percent say former president Barack Obama wasn’t deserving of the Nobel Prize that he received in 2009. The public was even more skeptical after Obama won the award in 2009, with a Gallup/USA Today poll showing 61 percent thought Obama did not deserve the prize.
