Around 46 per cent of Americans say Biden’s approach to the conflict in Ukraine is on the mark, while 43 per cent say he is being too cautious, and only 6 per cent think he is being too aggressive.
The survey pointed out that Biden’s rise in approval ratings is predominantly among his Democratic base, while noting a moderate gainamong independents also.
The poll says Biden’s decision to levy sanctions against Russia has enjoyed a rare, bipartisan consensus.
“Most Americans, regardless of party, support these sanctions, and nearly seven in ten favour them even if it means higher energy prices domestically,” the survey said.
However, there is a sense of apprehension among the US citizens, who are fearful of ramifications from the Russian war, and how it could affect them.
Around 78 per cent of Americans are concerned that Russia will wage cyberattacks in the United States and that a broader war will erupt in Europe.
And around 70 per cent are worried that nuclear weapons will be used.
Additionally, mostpollinghas indicated that Americansare worriedfar more about inflation and the economy than this war.
