79% of US Republican voters oppose aid to Ukraine - poll
The majority of Republican voters oppose aid to Ukraine, while the majority of Democrats are in favour.
This is reported by the Wall Street Journal, Censor.NET informs.
According to the data, 79% of Republicans opposed the continuation of financial assistance to Ukraine in its confrontation with Russia. At the same time, 83% of Democrats support further support for Kyiv.
Overall, among all respondents, 49% were in favour of extending the aid, while 44% were against it.
The publication notes that these results reflect the positions of party leaders: The 46th Democratic President Joe Biden has repeatedly stated his readiness to support Ukraine "as long as it takes", while incumbent President Donald Trump and his supporters propose to move to the role of mediator in negotiations with Russia instead of continuing to provide assistance.
The study also noted a significant difference in views on the role of international alliances.
Thus, 81% of Republicans believe that US allies should take care of their own security and that the United States should not spend its own resources on this. While 83% of Democrats agree with the statement that international alliances are a source of US strength and should be funded from the state budget.
"The differences between the two political parties over American foreign policy have grown into an abyss," the publication concludes.
As noted, the survey was conducted by phone among 1,500 registered voters between 27 March and 1 April. The margin of error is about 2.5%.
