Poll: 48% of Americans believe U.S. spends ‘excessive’ on Ukraine Proxy War
President Joe Biden and Congress are considering sending even more American tax dollars to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky during his visit to Washington D.C., but a recent poll found that a majority of Americans believe the U.S. is already spending too much on the proxy war in Eastern Europe.
The poll revealed that nearly half of Americans, or 48 percent, think the U.S. is sending too much money to Zelensky. This is an increase of 7 percent from the previous poll conducted by Gallup in October.
The same poll also showed a decrease in the number of Americans who believe the $113 billion in U.S. tax dollars given to Ukraine over the past two years was the right amount. The percentage fell from 33 percent in October to 27 percent in the recent poll.
The most significant change in opinion between the two surveys was regarding the number of Americans who think the U.S. should provide even more funds to the Zelensky regime. In October, 25 percent held this view, but in the latest poll, only 11 percent still believe Ukraine deserves additional funding.
President Joe Biden recently argued that denying Zelensky the additional $60 billion requested by the Democrat regime would be turning their back on freedom’s cause. However, a majority of Americans have consistently opposed authorizing additional funding for the proxy war.
Some media outlets have defended the allocation of billions of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine, even if it is unpopular, by claiming that it benefits the U.S. military-industrial complex.
Republicans recently blocked a Democrat-led attempt to pass an “emergency spending” package that would have redirected more American money to Ukraine.
While both Republicans and Democrats continue to prioritize funding for a foreign country’s border, the record-breaking national security and humanitarian crisis within their own borders has raised voter scrutiny. As a result, Biden and his allies are attempting to attach future Ukraine spending to border legislation.
“I am willing to make significant compromises on the border, we need to fix the broken border system, it is broken.”

The decision to combine foreign aid with overdue domestic crisis legislation is unlikely to satisfy voters who consistently prioritize addressing illegal immigration over funding the Russia-Ukraine war.

However, the recent poll results indicate that a majority of Americans do not share this view. They believe that the U.S. is already spending too much on the proxy war in Eastern Europe and that the amount of money given to Ukraine in the past two years was excessive.
The poll found that nearly half of Americans, or 48 percent, think that the U.S. is sending too much money to President Zelensky. This represents a significant increase from the previous poll conducted by Gallup in October. Additionally, the percentage of Americans who believe the previous amount of $113 billion given to Ukraine was the right amount decreased from 33 percent to 27 percent.

President Joe Biden has been a vocal advocate for sending more American tax dollars to Ukraine. He argues that denying Zelensky the additional $60 billion requested by the Democrat regime would be turning their back on freedom’s cause. However, the majority of Americans consistently oppose authorizing additional funding for the proxy war.
It is clear that there is a disconnect between the views of the American public and the actions of the government. While President Biden and Congress might believe that providing more funds to Ukraine is necessary, the majority of Americans think otherwise.
It is essential for policymakers to listen to the concerns and opinions of the American people. Allocating taxpayers’ money to overseas conflicts should be done with careful consideration and in accordance with the will of the nation. As this poll indicates, the majority of Americans believe that the U.S. is already spending too much on the proxy war in Eastern Europe. This sentiment should not be ignored.
In conclusion, President Joe Biden and Congress must take into account the opinions of the American people when considering sending more American tax dollars to Ukraine. The recent poll has revealed that a majority of Americans believe the U.S. is already spending too much on the proxy war in Eastern Europe. It is crucial for policymakers to listen to the concerns of the public and act accordingly.
