WASHINGTON (AP) — Support among the American public for providing Ukraine weaponry and direct economic assistance has softened as the Russian invasion nears a grim one-year milestone, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Forty-eight percent say they favor the U.S. providing weapons to Ukraine, with 29% opposed and 22% saying they’re neither in favor nor opposed. In May 2022, less than three months into the war, 60% of U.S. adults said they were in favor of sending Ukraine weapons.
Americans are about evenly divided on sending government funds directly to Ukraine, with 37% in favor and 38% opposed, with 23% saying neither. The signs of diminished support for Ukraine come as President Joe Biden is set to travel to Poland next week to mark the first anniversary of the biggest conflict in Europe since World War II.
“I am sympathetic for Ukraine's situation and I feel badly for them, but I feel like we need to first take care of priorities here at home,” said Joe Hernandez, 44, of Rocklin, California.

Earlier in the week we had a poll that said 67% of Republicans would trade Ukrainian land for peace.
Ukraine is toast.
And this is exactly what Russia counted on.
Uh oh. Time to ramp up the propaganda.
But if they lose support, how are democrat cronies supposed to become ludicrously wealthy?
“And 59% say limiting damage to the U.S. economy is more important than effectively sanctioning Russia, even if that means sanctions are less effective.”
It’s about effin’ time.
WTH are all the neocons now?
They lost.
They crawled back into their holes.
Americans who support this horrible tragedy are merely symptoms of a very sick society. They dwell on the outskirts of humanity and they cannot be reasoned with.
Maybe Brandon should revert to his first anti-Putin strategy, of stealing all Russian oligarch yachts.
Or something.
GIBS-ME-DAT BILLIONS of dollars.
Yep I’ll feel better when this is down to like .01 % support
It is happening—The Zelensky Propaganda I call the Rah-Rah Brigade is all over the place with their mantra; “Ruzzia can’t win!” “Putin is pooping his pants with fear and/or sickness!” “Ukraine will take all Lands taken by Orks.” “The new Super tanks will save the day,” “Ruzzia loses 1,000 men a day!” “Nothing can stop hero Ukraine fighters as they fight for freedom!” “Rizzia only can strike at hospitals and apartment building!” “All Orks are sub human convicts who will rape and kill if given the chance!” “Putin must be stopped or he will attack Berlin next, then Paris, Detroit, New York!” Rah-rah!
US is out there telling China we are going to defend the Philippines. All of these thing s cost a lot so it is time to tell Ukraine to make a deal.
People are sick of Ukraine and it shows.

Yeah, that’s why they are called democrats
I hate Russkies. The only ones hate Russkies more than I, must be Ukrainians. (The Chinc Comms come close.)
Or Poles.
or liberals who start wars in other countries and do nothing about the invasion at the borde
I have been against this war from the beginning....not because I am pro-Russia or anti-Ukraine.
This is a European issue. Not that we couldn’t help broker a peace. DJT tried to help Zelvis when he got elected, but Zelvis needed to root out corruption. DJT didn’t want to put taxpayer monies into an unaccountable black hole.
His reward? Impeachment.
Corrupt Joe Biden is throwing BILLIONS AND BILLIONS at Zelvis with zero accountability. Wasted money.
Putin invaded no one while DJT was in charge. Putin invaded Georgia under Bush43, Crimea under Hussein, and Ukraine’s eastern provinces under Xiden.
The only one who kept the peace was Trump.
We do not need to be in a proxy war with Russia.
LOL. Peace Through Strength conservatives haven’t gone anywhere. Our positions haven’t changed and we’re the same we’ve always been. It’s the post modern conservatives who day dream of Putin winning for them that have humiliated themselves. They’ve lost their dignity in the service of genocidal Russian Nazis and will have no peace. Apparently, they are not tired of losing just yet.
