Fifty-seven percent of respondents to a new CNN poll released Friday said that President Donald Trump was too friendly with Russia — and 43 percent expressed a similar opinion about the president and North Korea.

But 30 percent said that Trump was too tough on Germany, with 27 percent responding likewise for Great Britain — though his dealings with those countries scored high "about right" ratings in the survey.

In addition, 60 percent gauged Trump's relations with Israel as "about right," as did 55 percent with Israel and 48 percent each with China and Iran.
