Why Is Biden Polling Poorly on the War in Ukraine?

April 22, 2022 · 4:12 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Timothy Carney: “Most people, including 60% of Republicans, basically want Biden to do something pretty close to what he’s doing now. Although 46% of Republicans say Biden should ‘do more… when it comes to the war in Ukraine,’ the most substantive questions yield answers along the line of arm Ukraine, sanction Russia, but don’t get us into war.”

“And again, that is, more or less, what Biden is doing. Biden, unlike former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, seems to have landed on foreign policy where most of the country is. We are not the world’s policeman, but we are not afraid to intervene in small ways to help the good guy against the bad guy is.”
