Bipartisan Support for Sanctions Against Russia

“A large and bipartisan majority of Americans supports economic sanctions on Russia for its military invasion of Ukraine, as public antipathy toward Russia climbs to Cold War levels,” according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.

“But while the invasion has produced a bipartisan and sharply negative consensus about Russia, it has not eliminated partisan divisions about President Biden. Overall, the president receives negative marks for handling the situation, with 33% approving and 47% disapproving, while another 20% have no opinion.”

“About half of the public doubts Biden’s ability to handle a crisis and says U.S. leadership in the world has ‘gotten weaker’ during his presidency, levels similar to former president Trump’s ratings while he was in office.”
