Quite a swing here, isn't it?
Back in June, just 29% of Americans thought we were "doing too much to help Ukraine." Now that number stands at 41%.
Yup, the honeymoon phase seems to be over. I hope Zelensky's okay.
Ahh, who am I kidding? It doesn't matter what Americans think, our leaders will still send our money there. It's where all the good action is.
Let's look at this poll, irrelevant as it may be in the grand scheme of things:
Americans' feelings on U.S. aid to Ukraine have shifted dramatically in the past four months, with 41% of the country now saying the U.S. is doing "too much to help Ukraine," the Gallup poll, which surveyed over 2,000 American adults, found. That number is up from 29% of Americans in June who said the U.S. was doing too much for Ukraine.
Only 33% of Americans believe the U.S. is aiding Ukraine in its fight against Russia the "right amount" — down from 43% who said the same four months ago. The percentage of those surveyed who want the U.S. to do more to help Ukraine decreased from 26% to 25% from June to October.
This war's been going on since what, February 2022? And we're still throwing money at the Ukrainians?
Another great question from the October 4-16 poll:
A majority of Americans (61%) said, "There should be a limit on financial support" to Ukraine compared to 37% who said the U.S. should "Maintain financial support as long as Ukraine requests it," according to Gallup.
If you poll only Democrats those numbers essentially flip, moving to 65% no limit, 34% limit.
Crazy.
My thoughts? It doesn't really matter what We the People think; we'll have to wait until this time next year for politicians to start showing respect to polls like these.
