New Poll Shows More Than Half of All Americans See Russian-Ukraine Conflict as a Critical Threat to US
More than half of Americans view a Russia-Ukraine conflict as a critical threat to U.S. interests, according to a Gallup poll released Friday that was conducted before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
As tensions with Russia rose during Gallup’s Feb. 1-17 World Affairs poll, 52 percent of Americans surveyed said that the conflict was a critical threat.
…
Respondents who identified as Democrats (61 percent) were slightly more likely than Republicans (56 percent) to see the conflict as a critical threat.
However, Republicans (72 percent) are more likely than Democrats (64 percent) to see Russian military efforts as a critical threat more generally. Independents were slightly less likely to view Russia as a threat, at 48 percent.
The results signal a significant change from 2015, when a significantly lower percentage of Americans viewed Russia’s military actions as a concern.
