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.

    Supporting freedom loving Ukrainians in their fight against the fascist dictatorship of putin (how does he keep avoiding all those leaky windows?) is absolutely the right thing to do.

    And not just because it’s the right thing to do, but it further shows russia as the paper tiger it is, telling the whole world exactly what one can expect from their populist, fascist, far-right, “strong-man” dictators in the end. They seek only the furtherance of their own power/wealth, and will decimate your country to get it. They will enjoy 5-star meals on their yacht as they tell their corrupt generals to send wave after wave of innocent men to their deaths.

    Slava Ukraini!
