The West is tired of war: American opinion
The Economist/YouGov study was conducted against the backdrop of a growing number of narratives about "Western fatigue with Ukraine" online. In particular, this opinion was actively spread among officials and referred to "the American public's fatigue with the war." However, the results of the study show the opposite.
Thus, 71% of Americans have a positive attitude toward Ukraine and consider it a friend and ally of the United States. At the same time, only 13% of respondents called Ukraine an "unfriendly country" or an "enemy."
At the same time, however, the opinions of U.S. citizens regarding support for Ukraine are divided. Thus, 40% of respondents believe that the United States and its allies "must do something" in response to russia's attack on Ukraine, while 38% of Americans said that the United States "has no obligation to intervene" in the conflict.
At the same time, a significant number of American citizens believe that U.S. intervention in the situation between Israel and Palestine is mandatory. This opinion was expressed by 47%, while 31% of respondents have the opposite attitude.
The survey also showed that Americans are concerned about the escalation of the conflict. Thus, 59% said that the situation with Hamas could "greatly" or "somewhat" influence the outbreak of a global war, and 8% said that "it has already happened."
How do Americans feel about russia?
The survey results showed that 80% of American citizens have a strongly negative attitude toward putin, and only 9% of respondents said they have a "very favorable" or "somewhat favorable" attitude toward the russian dictator.
At the same time, russia itself is also viewed in a negative light by Americans. Thus, 84% of respondents said they consider russia "unfriendly" or "an enemy" and only 6% said they see russia as a "friend" or an ally."
