The poll shows 55% of respondents do not approve of President Trump's approaches to the issues of the Russo-Ukrainian war, while 38% assess them positively.
Among those surveyed, 56% had a negative attitude toward the suspension of U.S. military aid to Ukraine (91% among Democrats, 57% independents, and 24% Republicans), 39% supported the decision (5% Democrats, 40% independents, and 70% Republicans).
When asked which country is closer in values to the US, 65% said Ukraine, 9% named Russia, and 26% did not offer an opinion.
At the same time, 61% of Americans believe President Trump is not tough enough on Russia: 31% assess his current attitude toward Russia as correct, another 2% opine that he is too tough toward Moscow.
Half of those surveyed say Trump is too tough on Ukraine, 35% believe his attitude is correct, and 8% said he is not tough enough.
Also, 43% of Americans have a positive attitude toward Ukrainian President Zelensky, 33% assess him negatively, and 22% admitted they are not sufficiently informed.
