I could see a scenario where Putin's popularity among Republicans is directly tied to Trump's popularity with Republican voters. They like Putin because Trump likes Putin and they perceive Putin as being an enemy of Hillary Clinton. If they stop liking Trump, my guess is increased dislike of Putin will follow. Either way Saint Ronnie is rolling over in his grave right now.
