Half of Americans say they back Ukraine in the conflict with Russia

The Chart

This chart features results from a recent CBS News / YouGov poll which asks Americans who they support in the Russia–Ukraine conflict.

3 Things To Know

1. Perhaps the most interesting result is that 44% of Americans don't support either country in the conflict. One interpretation is that this large bloc of respondents would support less U.S. involvement in the conflict.
2. This same poll (conducted before Trump and Zelenskyy's incendiary showdown in the Oval Office) found that 46% of respondents said Trumps words and actions had favoured Russia thus far.
3. Public support for sending further aid to Ukraine is a partisan issue. Republican voters are less likely to want to send further aid to Ukraine.
