The number of Americans who believe that the conflict in Ukraine is at a stalemate is growing, writes The Washington Examiner. If in spring a Rasmussen Reports poll showed that 45% of respondents thought so, according to the latest poll, 52% of US voters agree.
More than half of Americans believe that the fighting in Ukraine has reached a stalemate, The Washington Examiner reported, citing a Rasmussen Reports poll.
In the latest poll by the US polling company, 52% of US voters said the Ukrainian conflict appears to be at a stalemate, up from 45% who thought so last May. Only 19% of respondents believe that Ukraine is winning.
Moreover, the assessment of the situation in Ukraine does not depend on which party the respondents support – Democratic or Republican.
“While voters are divided along party lines on many issues, there is an extraordinary consensus on the war in Ukraine: 50 percent of Democrats, 53 percent of Republicans, and 52 percent of voters not affiliated with either major party now agree that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is essentially at a stalemate,” Rasmussen Reports noted.
Amid President Joe Biden’s administration’s call for Congress to approve another tranche of military aid to Kiev, some 34% of respondents said Washington is “doing too much.”
At the same time, opinions that it would be better from the point of view of American interests for Ukraine to keep fighting were divided along party lines. 49 per cent of Democratic Party supporters surveyed, 41 per cent of Republican Party supporters and just 35 per cent of respondents not affiliated with either party agreed.
