Well, knock yourself out.
I could point to another poll taken by the same agency in March indicating Americans rejected an American military presence in Ukraine 62 to 39 percent but that would undercut my comment about polls.
Anyway IMO your poll is not much more relevant to the truth than is my unsupported assertion. I don’t believe most Americans want a shooting war with Russia.

***I see below that even you knock your own self out by recognizing you undercut your own position by using... polls.

***That would have been a stronger argument. Instead you chose to assert your own opinion from a position of silence, a classic fallacy of arguing from silence.
but that would undercut my comment about polls.
***Polls are data. In many cases, infected data. But polls like this aren’t push-polls, they’re more aimed at trying to figure out what Americans think at the time. It would appear American attitudes have changed, if you were to accept polling data from both sources.
Anyway IMO your poll is not much more relevant
***My poll is far more relevant than silence. And if you wanna stack up the 2 polls then you’re gonna have to backtrack on polling as data. Hence, my poll is more relevant.
to the truth than is my unsupported assertion.
***It is good that you see it as an unsupported assertion.
I don’t believe most Americans want a shooting war with Russia.
***There’s already a shooting war with Russia. I think what you are getting at is that most Americans prefer it to be a proxy war, where Ukes are shooting Russians, rather than sending in our boys to die. You don’t have data to support it other than your own opinion... but I think I would agree with it that most Americans don’t want our own soldiers sent there so there’s that.
I think you have to get into the poll internals and exact phrasing.
“Are you ok with risking a nuclear explosion within a few hundred miles of you to help Ukraine (which presumably will be a nuclear fireball if that happens)?”
or “do you feel the US should give military aid to urkaine to resist russian invasion?”
or “Do you feel the US should coordinate with (alleged) ukraine air defense and feed real-time info to shoot down russians? (personally I suspect we did more than just pass on info, more likely ran their air defense)?”
I suspect most americans are not so ok with #1, more ok with #2 as long as it isn’t spelled out that it can lead to #1, and mixed on #3, same caveat.
but it doesn’t matter. this administration will not be deterred.
