Consensus among Americans: Cease Allocation of U.S. Taxpayer Funds to Ukraine

Majority of Americans Oppose Funding for Ukraine's War

According to a survey commissioned by CNN, a majority of Americans do not want their tax money to be given to Ukraine for the purpose of waging war with Russia. The poll found that 55% of respondents believe that the U.S. Congress should not authorize additional funding to support Ukraine, while 45% believe Congress should continue to provide such funding.

Shift in American Opinion

According to a recent survey, there has been a shift in the opinions of Americans regarding the U.S. response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. In February 2022, 62% of respondents believed that the U.S. should have been doing more. However, in the present, there has been a decrease in concern over the impact of Russia's war on U.S. national security. In February 2022, 72% of respondents expressed worry about threats to U.S. security, but that number has since diminished.

Bipartisan Agreement

According to a recent survey, a majority of Democrats believe that the United States should continue to provide funding for Ukraine's war. However, there is also some bipartisan agreement on this issue, with nearly 80% of respondents expressing concern that the war will continue without a resolution. This concern is shared by 82% of Democrats, 75% of independents, and 73% of Republicans.

Concerns about Consequences

A recent survey has found that a majority of participants are concerned about the potential consequences of the war in Ukraine. About two-thirds of respondents expressed worry that the conflict could lead to increased threats to democracy in other countries or prompt Russian attacks in different regions. Additionally, approximately 60% of participants are apprehensive that the conflict may escalate into a broader war in Europe.

Bipartisanship Divide

The article discusses the lack of bipartisanship in the United States regarding funding for Ukraine. It states that Republicans are largely against authorizing new funding, with 71% arguing against it and 59% believing that the US has already done enough to aid Ukraine. On the other hand, the majority of Democrats hold the opposite view, with 62% supporting additional funding and believing that the US should do more to help Ukraine.

Independent Voters' Perspective

According to a recent survey, a majority of independent voters in the US believe that the country has already provided enough assistance to Ukraine. They also oppose further funding for Ukraine. However, when it comes to specific forms of assistance, there is agreement among Democrats, independents, and Republicans that the US should provide intelligence-gathering support to Ukraine. Democrats are more likely to support military training for Ukraine compared to independents and Republicans.

Partisan Divide on Weapons and Military Deployment

A recent study has found that there is a clear partisan divide among Americans regarding providing weapons to Ukraine and deploying US military forces for combat operations. The study shows that 61% of Democrats support providing weapons to Ukraine, while only 39% of independents and 30% of Republicans are in favor. On the other hand, less than 20% of individuals from all parties support deploying US military forces for combat operations, with 19% of Democrats, 18% of independents, and 16% of Republicans endorsing the idea.

Survey Details

The CNN poll was conducted by SSRS and surveyed 1,279 adults from July 1 to 31. The participants were randomly selected and initially contacted via mail. The surveys were then conducted either online or via telephone with live interviewers. The margin of sampling error for the full sample is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points, with a larger margin for subgroups.
