More voters also said they want Washington to actively engage in diplomacy as a condition for sending military aid.
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, according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted by Data for Progress on behalf of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, also found that a plurality (49 percent) said the Biden administration and Congress have not done enough diplomatically to help end the war (37 percent said they had).
The poll’s release comes after Vladimir Putin doubled down on Russia’s war in Ukraine by mobilizing reserves and issuing threats to use nuclear weapons after recent gains by the Ukrainian military near the country’s eastern border with Russia.
Moscow has also recently orchestrated referendums in some Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine on whether citizens there want to secede and become part of the Russian Federation, leading experts to believe that regardless of the outcome, Putin plans to illegally annex parts of Ukraine.
The survey also found that 47 percent said they support the continuation of U.S. military aid to Ukraine only if Washington is involved in ongoing diplomacy to end the war, while 41 percent said they would support aid regardless of whether the United States is engaged in negotiations.
Just six percent said Russia’s war in Ukraine is among the top three most important issues facing the United States today, with the top three being inflation (46 percent), jobs and the economy (31 percent), and gun violence (26 percent).

If Americans ARE for a diplomatic resolution, wouldn’t that make all these warmongering assholes , by definition, “UN-AMERICAN” ? Who in their right mind would cast their vote for an UN-American asshole? NONE of these fags should be in Office at all!
The general population of most countries prefer diplomacy to war Every Single Time.
“Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
― Hermann Goering
I actually disagree with Goering that the leaders determine anything. It is the complicity of the governed masses to their own subjection that causes all problems. How can a handful ever rule the many, but by the cooperation of the many with the few? Which means the many are to blame. Jail the troublemakers, swat the mosquitoes, whose skin is never in the game, and ignore them and go back to your lives.
Exodus 23:2
“Many people think of our times as being the last before the end of the world. The evidence of horror all around us makes this seem possible. But isn’t that an idea of only minor importance? Doesn’t every human being, no matter which era he lives in, always have to reckon with being accountable to God at any moment? Can I know whether I’ll be alive tomorrow morning? A bomb could destroy all of us tonight. And then my guilt would not be one bit less than if I perished together with the Earth and the stars.” ― Sophie Scholl https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/801549.Sophie_Scholl
Polls are a form of propaganda. See how this was worded?
What’s hard to understand about giving’choices’ neither of which is what’s really going on?
In this one you win by sort of showing Americans don’t want war, but conversely it legitimizes the government we do have. Just to start- aid?
People think this poll outcome is good?
Besides the obvious setting of fake news by the way they frame and report on polls, there’s the psychological effects on those who participate. Some one (known, not just acquaintances)1 cares about my opinion, I’m doing something, I’m not just a cog but have influence, etc. By being part of the poll you belong/represent the ‘masses’. Everyone gets gets to let off steam to dampen reactions.
All the while it’s used for further manipulation.

also,unless they far oversampled dems,there is no way a poll is going to say that gun violence is the # 3 concern of voters unless they badly skewed the questions–,
i suspect that the results are probably in line w/public opinion of both the left/right,though i believe that you are correct about the wording of the questions–

If they end the “War” in the Ukraine, all that money being transferred to the WEF and the MIC would come to an end and that would be a disaster for the globalists, so, they’ll just escalate the war to Nuclear levels so the money can keep flowing and the population continues to decrease exponentially.
Yes we do…and this is a big negative for the Dims in the upcoming election.
800,000+ America First circA 1939 couldn’t thwart the will of Deep Shekels to take US to war , so what makes anyone think the criminals who control US government are going to listen now?
flash- “so what makes anyone think the criminals who control US government are going to listen now?”
Exact case and point. They’re beyond caring what we think or want, it seems pretty obvious to me anyway.
Yeah and Americans didn’t want WW 2 either. Lol like they give a fuck what we want.
Abolish the state. It is an amplifier to the ambitions of a malignant few. They have no power but that which we masses yield to them Refuse to serve.

Our overlords do not care what we want. They have been demonstrating that since the 60s. It gets progressively worse every year yet still we the people take it.
“Americans support quick diplomatic end to war in Ukraine.”
Not this American.
Western Globohomo: Ongoing military aid to Ukraine is essential because Russia is mean to gay and transgender people.
Putin: Losing supremacy, the West is turning into a minority on the world stage. If Western elites think they can inject trends like gay parades and dozens of genders into their societies, they can do what they want, but they have no right to demand others to follow in the same direction.
Were Putin an American, he would insist on maintaining America’s borders.
