More Americans say Ukraine not getting enough help: Gallup

More Americans now think the U.S. is not doing enough to help Ukraine in its war against the Russian military invasion, an uptick from late last year, according to a new Gallup poll released on Tuesday.

The Gallup survey found that 46 percent of Americans said the U.S. is not providing enough assistance to Ukraine in its three-year war with Russia, a 16-point increase since December last year, closely resembling the numbers seen during the summer of 2022.

Some 30 percent said Washington is doing too much to help the war-torn country while 23 percent said the U.S. is offering the right amount of help. Both figures have dropped since December.

The number of Democratic Party voters who think the U.S. support for Ukraine is insufficient has increased by 31 points to 79 percent. Some 13 percent of Democrats think Washington’s support for Ukraine is at the right level while eight percent think the U.S. is providing too much backing to Kyiv, according to the survey.

The number of independents who think the U.S. is not doing enough to support Ukraine has also gone up, jumping by 14 points since December to 46 percent, Gallup found.

Republican Party voters who think the U.S. is supplying too much aid to Ukraine have gone down in the last three months, declining 11 points to 56 percent. Those GOP voters who say Washington’s backing of Ukraine is at the right amount went up by 11 points, “likely because of backing for the Trump administration’s policy toward Ukraine,” according to Gallup.

The poll also found that Americans who think the U.S. should keep backing Ukraine in reclaiming its territory, even if it leads to prolonged involvement, has gone up by 5 percentage points to 53 percent. Those who prefer a quick end to the conflict, even if it entails Ukraine ceding territory to Russia, have dropped by five points, going from 50 percent in December to 45 percent in March.

President Trump has pushed for a swift end to the war. He told reporters over the weekend that he is set to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, a statement Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also confirmed.

Trump’s Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Putin on Thursday last week in Moscow as the Trump administration looks to get Russia to agree to a 30-day ceasefire, a proposal Ukraine agreed to earlier this month.

Putin said last week that he is open to the 30-day stalemate, but was vague in terms of his support, adding during a press conference that he is looking to eliminate the root “causes of this crisis.”

The survey was conducted from March 3-11 among 2,219 adults. The margin of error was two percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.
