Note the intraparty dissension:

 

Within both parties, there are splits by ideology. On providing additional funding, liberal Democrats are far and away the most supportive, 74% back it compared with 51% of moderate or conservative Democrats. Among Republicans, about three-quarters of conservatives oppose new funding (76%) compared with 61% of moderate or liberal Republicans.

 

I'm actually kind of surprised, and encouraged, that "moderate or liberal Republicans" (which I read as code for establishment, as opposed to MAGA) are 61% opposed.

 

edit: a helpful map for any liberal Democrats who happen across this.

 

edit 2: a bunch of slavacocaini types shrieking at Medea, but I did find one amusing meme in her replies.

As usual, US society is polarized.

Once again, the liberals show that they can't be trusted to keep the world free of war. In fact, they seem to be the ones braying for more deaths.

Overall, 55% say the US Congress should not authorize additional funding to support Ukraine vs. 45% who say Congress should authorize such funding. And 51% say that the US has already done enough to help Ukraine while 48% say it should do more. A poll conducted in the early days of the Russian invasion in late February 2022 found 62% who felt the US should have been doing more.
