Support For Ukraine Drops Amongst Republican Voters

US

A new survey from Gallup has shown the extent to which Republican and Independent voters have become sceptical of continued US assistance to Ukraine.

  • Gallup reports: “a plurality [of voters] now [say] the U.S. is doing too much to help Ukraine. Forty-one percent of Americans overall say the U.S. is doing too much, which has risen from 24% in August 2022 and 29% in June 2023."
  • The survey also shows that US voters are less likely to support pursuing a Ukrainian victory which includes recovering occupied territory: “Forty-three percent now favor the U.S. trying to help end the war quickly, even if that means Ukraine cedes territory to Russia.”
  • The survey results may have major implications for the future of aid to Ukraine with Republican voters appearing to align with the increasingly Ukraine-sceptic Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
  • support for Ukraine amongst House Republicans may accelerate after Ukraine’s top general Valery Zaluzhny revealed, in an interview with the Economist, that the war with Russia has reached a stalemate. Zaluzhny said: “There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough,” adding that Western security assistance had not delivered sufficient supplies to allow Kyiv to win the war.
