Nearly one year into the war between Russia and Ukraine, Americans’ support for Ukraine holds steady. A stable 65% of U.S. adults prefer that the United States support Ukraine in reclaiming its territory, even if that results in a prolonged conflict. Meanwhile, 31% continue to say they would rather see the U.S. work to end the war quickly, even if this allows Russia to keep its territory. …
Nearly half of Republicans, 47%, say the U.S. is doing too much, while 48% of Democrats say American involvement is about right. Most of the rest of Democrats, 41%, say the U.S. is not doing enough. Independents are evenly divided between the two camps, with 35% each saying the U.S. is doing too much and the right amount. Democrats are more likely than independents and Republicans to think the U.S. is not doing enough.
[Numbers on this question have bounced around depending on the pollsters, but this look from Gallup seems credible, at least. Also notably, the issue is not as partisan as some analysts think. Support for Ukraine among Republicans is 53/41 and 59/38 among indies. That’s not nearly as strong as the 81/18 among Democrats in favor of holding the line and denying Russia any attempt to profit off its invasion, but the latter position is still in the significant minority among the other two groups. — Ed]
