Americans support the idea of \u200b\u200bhelping Ukraine, even though it will have to "

In May, a University of Maryland poll found a decline in the willingness of the American public to pay a price for Ukraine's support.. A new Brookings Institution poll suggests that a drop in American support for Ukraine in May did not become a trend — and in fact, the expressed willingness of the US population to pay a price for aid to Kyiv has risen since May, although it remains lower than it was in March.

Key results of the new survey.

In the June survey, 62% of respondents said they were willing to endure higher energy costs, up from 59% in May, but down from 73% in March. Similarly, 58% said they were ready for higher inflation, up from 52% in May, but also down from 65% in March.. American readiness for US troop losses remains low at 32%.

There are significant differences between Democrats and Republicans in the level of willingness to pay the price for supporting Ukraine, and the gap between them is slowly growing, in particular, Democrats express a greater willingness to support Kyiv.

While 78% of Democrats are ready to face rising energy prices, only 44% of Republicans share this opinion.. 72% of Democrats are willing to tolerate higher inflation, but only 39% of Republicans say the same.

The gap in willingness to pay higher energy prices between Democrats and Republicans widened from 30 percentage points in March to 32 percentage points in May and 34 in June. Also regarding the willingness to tolerate rising inflation, the gap widened from 28 percentage points in March to 31 percentage points in May and to 34 in June.. Among Republicans, 22% are willing to risk the lives of American soldiers compared to 37% of Democrats..

Despite the fact that the administration of US President Joe Biden opposed the introduction of a no-fly zone over Ukraine, the American public supports this idea, despite the possibility of a confrontation with Russia.

Support for a no-fly zone over Ukraine rose from 56% in March to 59% in May and 65% in June. This trend has gone beyond party lines: a growing number of Republicans and Democrats support "

According to an experiment conducted by sociologists in the May survey, US respondents are more reluctant to close the skies over Ukraine when they are informed of a potential direct conflict with Russia as a result of such a decision, but more supportive if they do not take into account the associated risk..

Few Americans Believe Russia Will Win War, Analysts Say. Poll shows respondents who think Russia is failing are more willing to pay the price for supporting Ukraine than those who say the Kremlin will succeed.



Assessing the overall course of the war, 27 percent of respondents believe that Ukraine is winning, only 20 percent see Russia as the winner..

The survey of 2,208 respondents was conducted by Nielsen-Scarborough on June 22-28 with an error of +/- 2.09%.

Rising levels of support for aid to Ukraine is a positive trend for U.S. President Joe Biden, as his administration has made a lot of efforts to support Kyiv, analysts say..
