Less than 1-in-3 voters want the United States to send troops to defend Ukraine in the event of an invasion from Russia, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports released Wednesday.
According to the survey, less than one-third of likely voters in the U.S. think that American troops should defend Ukraine if Russia invades the country:
- 31% say the U.S. should defend Ukraine with combat troops.
- 36% say the U.S. should not send troops to defend Ukraine.
- 33% are undecided on whether the U.S. should defend Ukraine with troops.
Rasmussen also asked voters to rate President Joe Biden’s handling of the situation between Ukraine and Russia.
- 30% rated Biden’s handling as good to excellent.
- 62% rated his handling as fair to poor.
The polling firm found in another survey earlier this month that almost 4-in-5 Americans are concerned that Russia could invade Ukraine.
Rasmussen polled 1,000 likely voters across the U.S. from Jan. 24-25, 2022, with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
