Dear CCI Community:
A new opinion poll has been been released regarding public attitudes towards the war in Ukraine. It was conducted by Data For Progress on behalf of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. See: Poll: Americans support quick diplomatic end to war in Ukraine. The results of this new poll are similar to two other polls from Morning Consult and Concerned Veterans for America which show at least a plurality of Americans are tired of the US intervention in Ukraine, and that twice as many Americans want to send less aid to Ukraine rather than more.
The results of the most recent poll included:
“Nearly 60 percent of Americans would support the United States engaging in diplomatic efforts “as soon as possible” to end the war in Ukraine, even if that means Ukraine having to make concessions to Russia…”
“The survey, … also found that a plurality (49 percent) said the Biden administration and Congress have not done enough diplomatically to help end the war while 37 percent said they had.”
CCI also supports diplomatic efforts to engage Russia and end this dangerous war.

- –A new poll suggests Americans are growing weary as the US supports Ukraine in its war against Russia.
- –The poll found that a majority of Americans want the US to pursue diplomatic negotiations to end the war ASAP.
- –The poll also showed that many Americans are concerned about the financial costs of the conflict.
A new poll suggests that many Americans are growing weary as the US government continues its support of Ukraine in its war with Russia and want to see diplomatic efforts to end the war if aid is to continue.
According to a poll conducted by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and Data for Progress, 57% of likely voters strongly or somewhat support the US pursuing diplomatic negotiations as soon as possible to end the war in Ukraine, even if it requires Ukraine making compromises with Russia. Just 32% of respondents were strongly or somewhat opposed to this.
And nearly half of the respondents (47%) said they only support the continuation of US military aid to Ukraine if the US is involved in ongoing diplomacy to end the war, while 41% said they support the continuation of US military aid to Ukraine whether the US is involved in ongoing diplomacy or not.
