The degree of bipartisan overall sympathy with Ukraine that encompasses majorities of Republicans and Democrats is striking.

A strong majority of Americans across the political spectrum sympathize more with Ukraine than Russia in the ongoing war: 62% of respondents express more sympathy with Ukraine than Russia, including 58% of Republicans and 76% of Democrats. At the same time, just 2% of respondents said they sympathized more with Russia in the conflict, including 4% of Republicans and 1% of Democrats. Republicans (20%) were more likely than Democrats (7%) to say they sympathized with neither side, while equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats (5%) said they sympathized with both sides equally.

The percentage of respondents who said they want the United States to stay the course in supporting Ukraine grew from our October 2023 poll, reaching the highest level in our tracking since the spring of 2023. In our latest survey, 48% of all respondents said that the United States should support Ukraine as long as the conflict lasts, including 37% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats. All these numbers are new highs in our four polls since March-April 2023.

    Honestly do you know anything about the history behind Russia and Ukraine? Based on your response I’d guess you don’t know the very first thing. You should start with that.

      The fuck? Do you mean how russia for the past 100+ years has been killing Ukrainians? The history between the two countries is basically russia just killing Ukrainians because they can, and don’t even try and say it was part of russia in the past. The polish controlled the Ukrainian territory long before the shit stain country did, and you don’t see Poland trying to continually kill and capture Ukraine.
