Quinnipiac reports, “As the world witnesses what is happening to Ukraine, Americans were asked what they would do if they were in the same position as Ukrainians are now: stay and fight or leave the country?”
Overall, a 55 percent majority said they would defend the nation, but there was a sharp partisan divide when you look at the responses by party affiliation.
“A majority (55 percent) say they would stay and fight, while 38 percent say they would leave the country. Republicans say 68 – 25 percent and independents say 57 – 36 percent they would stay and fight, while Democrats say 52 – 40 percent they would leave the country,” the report explained.

“When confronted with a terrible hypothetical that would put them in the shoes of the Ukrainians, Americans say they would stand and fight rather than seek safety in another country,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.
Another recent poll from Rasmussen found that nearly 70 percent of self-described “liberals” say that it is more important to “America’s national interest” to defend the Ukrainian border than our own.

“Rasmussen found a huge divide between Democrats and Republicans. While 74% of Republicans and 54% of independents said protecting the U.S. border was more important, 57% of Democrats chose Ukraine’s border over the U.S. border,” the Washington Examiner reports. “What’s more, 67% of self-described ‘liberals’ chose Ukraine.”
Where exactly do they think they will flee to?
Silly poll...
Look at California
but the majority of Democrats would flee.
PLEASE start now!
The faculty lounge.
Good way to put it.
Well, if they flee, then they can’t come back
You win!
Ironic, given that Democrats are very willing to send our sons and daughters to die for other countries.
We need to go ahead and divide the country - we have the workers, the money, the ambition, the bullets and the patriotism.
They have their pronouns and pedophiles.
Oh, and we need a big fence to keep them out.
They wouldn’t flee, they would be the Vichy Americans and sell us out.
This is not news.
Depends who they were attacking .
Proof is in the pudding. Reinstate the draft and see what percentage of progressives register. and ultimately show up, if inducted. Does anyone realistically believe if this country was fully populated by progressive “citizens of the world” (how trite is that eye rolling phrase), we would have any sort of a military?
That defines Deplorable. I’ll take it.
Who is going to invade by force, by land?
As it is, we let just about anyone walk right in. Migrants looking for work or asylum - OK that’s been going on for 150 years. But also criminals, drug runners, potential saboteurs and potential terrorists. Gates are open. Enemy forces can trickle in a few dozen a day until they sufficiently amassed to do overt damage.
We won’t be “invaded” by 100,000s of troops. We’ll be attacked from within by enemies who have settled, biding their time until they are called up.
Good, let them flee. Then we can make sure they stay “fled.”
That’s the best question.
Though I don’t think a poll was necessary.
Democrats would choose to send conservatives and independents to fight - so they would not need to flee.
