WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s little support among Americans for a major U.S. role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to a new poll, even as President Joe Biden imposes new sanctions and threatens a stronger response that could provoke retaliation from Moscow.
Just 26% say the U.S. should have a major role in the conflict, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Fifty-two percent say a minor role; 20% say none at all.
Democrats are more likely than Republicans to think the U.S. should have a major role in the conflict, 32% to 22%. Overall, the poll shows 43% of Americans now approve of Biden’s handling of the U.S. relationship with Russia, a downtick from 49% in June of last year.
However, the poll shows there remains skepticism among Americans of the U.S. intelligence community. Only 23% said they had a “great deal of confidence” in intelligence agencies. Another 52% say they have some confidence and 24% have hardly any.
The AP-NORC poll of 1,289 adults was conducted Feb. 18-21 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

It matters little what we want.
We wanted no lockdown
We wanted Trump for president.
We wanted Epstein to live and face court.
We want a balanced budget, a secure border...
you get the picture :)
In other words, This is not making people happy. They do not want a war.
How long has it been since the opinion of a majority of Americans has mattered in this country? Searching for an image of a politician flipping the middle finger ...
Maybe Russia can investigate all the libtard corruption in Ukraine already?
Libtards can’t impeach Putin 🤪
“26% say the U.S. should have a major role in the conflict”
Who are those crazy 26%?
We don’t fight. We arm the Ukrainians left and right and let them kill the Russians.
I’m trying to figure out what “minor role” actually means. I have no problem with arming the Ukrainians. Trade for lithium.
But the #WarBounce in polling will be orgasmic for the democratic base of voters.... /s
Yep. Ukraine, or rather the Dem/Deep state “Russia-Collusion-Ukraine narrative” has been a CANCER on the US body politic
The RATs always call conservatives warmongers. Yet historically they have been in charge during WWI, WW2, Vietnam, Korea, etc etc. And now they want war with Russia in larger numbers. Murdering babies in the woman isn’t enough for them. Mass slaughters of the “excess population” is theor goal. They never realize is that if there ever were “useless bread gobblers” it would be them.
At this point, the establishment in the US is orders of magnitude more of a threat to every American than Russia will ever be.
No one wants inflation, no one wants racism, no one wants unemployment, no one wants wars, no one wants criminals on the streets, no one wants high gas prices, no one wants illegals by the millions coming into the country, no one wants big business to suppress free speech. We had a President who gave us all of that but 81 million didnt want those things, they wanted Biden as president.
The Big Lie.
...once you get started, it's gets hard to quit.
yep, sorry, this is Europes problem.
I honestly want the heck out of Nato, let the socialist countries of Europe pay for their defense instead of US tax payers subsidising their socialist wet dreams
No, we send a bunch of money over there and the big guy gets 10% of it. That’s what this dog and pony show is all about. Who the hell even buys any of this bullcrap? Anyone who does needs to turn off the cable news, put the koolaid down, and take a break.
If Ukraine is important enough, send Hunter, else cede it to Russia.
A 72% repudiation of the Bush/Cheney/McConnell wing of GOP.
Winning!!
Defend Ukraine? I would oppose using taxpayer dollars to fund a military response if Russia invaded California.
And then we act surprised when those arms are use at American airports, transit stations, sporting events, concerts, malls, hospitals, ...
