CNN, Most Americans oppose Congress authorizing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, as the public splits over whether the US has already done enough to assist Ukraine.
Overall, 55% say the US Congress should not authorize additional funding to support Ukraine vs. 45% who say Congress should authorize such funding. And 51% say that the US has already done enough to help Ukraine while 48% say it should do more. A poll conducted in the early days of the Russian invasion in late February 2022 found 62% who felt the US should have been doing more.
Partisan divisions have widened since that poll, too, with most Democrats and Republicans now on opposing sides of questions on the US role in Ukraine.

When asked specifically about types of assistance the US could provide to Ukraine, there is broader support for help with intelligence gathering (63%) and military training (53%) than for providing weapons (43%), alongside very slim backing for US military forces to participate in combat operations (17%).….
…. The survey finds broad partisan and ideological divides over how much the US should be doing to assist Ukraine’s efforts to push back the Russian military campaign.
Republicans broadly say that Congress should not authorize new funding (71%) and that the US has done enough to assist Ukraine (59%). Among Democrats, most say the opposite, 62% favor additional funding and 61% say that the US should do more.
Within both parties, there are splits by ideology. On providing additional funding, liberal Democrats are far and away the most supportive, 74% back it compared with 51% of moderate or conservative Democrats. Among Republicans, about three-quarters of conservatives oppose new funding (76%) compared with 61% of moderate or liberal Republicans.
Independents mostly say the US has done enough to help Ukraine (56%) and that they oppose additional funding (55%)…..
The fat lady is getting ready to sing……trusting a corrupted, senile old man sitting in the White House is a lesson to learn for Americans and the collective West.
Win or lose we are going to be paying the Ukraine for decades anyways
(Western MSM now prepping)
Yep
SSRS has a pretty spotty record, getting both the magnitude and direction of victory margins wrong in past elections.

It is probably pretty cheap, though, which is why CNN is using it for this poll, for which there is no reality check, unlike pre-election polls, for which election day results are the final benchmark.

As with tangible goods, quality costs. You may not get you pay for, but you never get what you don’t pay for.
This is a dupe
This is a dupe

The only dupe I can find is how Americans were duped into senile Joe’s Ukie war.
China invasion of Taiwan and Israel war is looming.
Yeah, you knew it was over when Chris Christie showed up in Kiev.

I know what you are saying, but I thought it was “ over when the fat lady begins to sing”, in todays fallen, twisted world, I guess when the fat man begins to sing it’s also over?
In other words, the neocon operatives here do not represent the base of the party.
Thanks.
When the fat man grabs the last of the hors d’oeuvres, you know the party is over.

You make a good point, but somehow I knew it was over when Pelosi, Pence, Romney, senile Joe and the usuall demoncrats ran to visit Ukraine and the corrupted, penis piano playing degenerate Zelensky it was over….they must have been checking their bank accounts.
China invasion of Taiwan and Israel war is looming.
Remember the Yom Kippur War we had to strip our forces in Europe of weapons to resupply Israel. Hopefully, we have some reserve stocks left in case something like that happens.
I rarely believe any polls, especially those from CNN.
So what’s their angle on this one? Although I’m sure most Americans oppose more funding for Ukraine, I doubt CNN wants to report the truth just for the heck of it.
ransomnote: back in March, members of the Austrian parliament got up and walked out in protest when 'this dancing dictator' began to speak. Wish the US hadn't stayed in and spent billions more....and more, and more, and more...Zelensky gave a speech to Austrian parliament and instead of getting a standing ovation like he got in the US Congress, Austrian politicians walked out in protest The tides are finally turning against this dancing dictator

CNN definition of ‘majority’ is anything over 18%.
