Breaking the Bank: New CNN Poll Shows Most Americans Oppose More Ukraine Funding

Are Americans experiencing Ukraine fatigue?

According to a recent CNN poll, the majority of Americans oppose more funding for Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy’s fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The poll was released Friday.

From The Daily Wire:

Of the more than 1,200 adult respondents to the poll conducted by SSRS, 55% said Congress should not approve additional funding to Ukraine, while 45% supported more funding. Most Americans (51%) also said that the U.S. has already done enough to support the Ukrainian effort while 48% said the U.S. should do more. The findings mark a drastic reversal of a CNN poll conducted shortly after Russia’s invasion in February 2022, which found that 62% of Americans wanted the U.S. to do more to help Ukraine.

In the first year of the conflict, Congress approved roughly $113 billion in aid to Ukraine — far more than any other country. Last month, the State Department announced that another $400 million in arms and equipment would be sent to Ukraine, including cluster bombs. The bombs are banned by most countries in the world due to the view that they are inhumane because of high failure rates and unexploded fragments that can linger for years, according to the BBC.

Republicans in Congress, especially members of the freedom caucus, have called for more oversight on funds being sent to Ukraine.
