US Poll Numbers Intervention In Ukraine War (none / 0)

'That time is gone': Americans are in an anti-war mood -- but partisan differences are bubbling | Roll Call - March 17, 2022 |
Only 18 percent of GOP voters approve of President Biden's handling of the Ukraine war
Sixty-nine percent of those surveyed for a Monmouth University poll also released Wednesday support sending more U.S. military troops to Eastern Europe to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from further stepping up the conflict.
But only 41 percent support putting those American military boots on Ukrainian soil, according to that poll. Voters are much more in the mood for Baltic deployments like Biden already has ordered, putting more American troopers in places like Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to shore up NATO's eastern flank.

NATO Partners ... Olaf Scholz Who? (none / 0)

Effect of media coverage and White House war narrative ... propaganda and censorship really works.

Americans Hold Positive Feelings Toward NATO and Ukraine, See Russia as an Enemy | Pew Research - May 10,, 2023 |
Americans express mixed confidence in two of NATO's most important leaders: French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In fact, 35% of Americans have never heard of Scholz, with 24% saying the same about Macron.
Over the past few years, there have also been shifts in how Americans view their place in the world. A majority (55%) says that the U.S. should pay less attention to problems overseas and concentrate on problems at home, compared with 43% who say it's best for the future of the country to be active in world affairs. This represents a shift in opinion since 2021, before Russia invaded Ukraine, when 50% of Americans wanted to focus on domestic troubles and 49% wanted to be active in world affairs.

Poll: 31% Voters Say Send Troops to Ukraine (none / 0)

U.S. Troops Should be Sent to Ukraine, Third of Americans Say | Newsweek - Aug. 2, 2023 |
A total of 31 percent of eligible voters in the U.S. support or strongly support American military forces heading to the battlefields of Ukraine, polling conducted exclusively for Newsweek by Redfield & Wilton Strategies has revealed.
A quarter of respondents neither supported nor opposed the idea of sending U.S. soldiers to Ukraine, with 34 percent against the suggestion.
The U.S. is by far Ukraine's biggest backer in terms of military aid. Since the start of the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, Washington has pledged more than $43 billion in security assistance to Kyiv. But the Biden administration has said since the early days of the conflict that U.S. soldiers will not be heading to the front lines in Ukraine.
