Poll: Plurality supports Russia sanctions even if it means higher prices

Many U.S. voters are prepared to take a hit to their pocketbooks to impose penalties on Russia, with 46 percent of voters supporting sanctions even if it causes prices in the United States to rise. Another 30 percent support sanctions only if there are no related price increases, and just 7 percent say they do not support sanctions in any form.

Nearly half (48 percent) of voters also approve of Biden’s handling of foreign policy in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, while 43 percent disapprove. Support for the president largely falls along party lines, with 78 percent of Democrats backing his handling and 74 percent of Republicans taking the opposite tack.

Nonetheless, 83 percent of Republicans say Putin is responsible for starting the conflict — a figure reflected among all U.S. voters — despite appeals from conservative commentators such as Fox News host Tucker Carlson for people not to blame Moscow.
