Summary
A CBS News/YouGov poll found that 52% of Americans support Ukraine, while 44% remain neutral and only 4% back Russia.
Among Republicans, 37% support Ukraine, but 56% are neutral. The poll also showed that 51% approve of Trump’s handling of the war, while 49% disapprove.
A separate poll found 62% viewed Zelenskyy’s remarks as offensive, and 55% believe Ukraine should negotiate peace.
Despite concerns over U.S. foreign policy shifts, 78% of respondents support remaining in NATO, and 67% favor cooperating equally with allies.
While media sources have always had agendas, I think the key difference now is the fact that people are relying more than ever on a oligopoly of social media platforms as their primary news source, rather than media outlets across the country.
Not only does an information oligopoly make it far easier for propaganda to be disseminated to national and international audiences, but it makes trading political favors for propaganda-backed political support far easier than ever before as well.
