Six in Ten Democrats Say Defending Ukraine’s Border More Important Than Defending America’s

Voters overwhelmingly grade President Joe Biden’s management of the Russia-Ukraine crisis poorly and equally view his handling of foreign policy — the former senator’s specialty — a failure.

In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey on the crisis, 64% rated Biden’s handling of the conflict fair to poor. An equal amount said his “handling” of national security issues was fair to poor.

Rasmussen noted that those rating Biden “poor” dominated the survey. In it, 49% called Biden’s handling of the crisis poor, while 51% said his foreign policy is poor.

The polling outfit also asked likely voters about the importance of defending Ukraine against Russia’s border-crossing to defending the surge of illegal immigrants over the U.S. border.

Not surprisingly, a majority, 53%, chose “defending the U.S. border.”

But when the parties were broken out, Rasmussen found a huge divide between Democrats and Republicans. While 74% of Republicans and 54% of independents said protecting the U.S. border was more important, 57% of Democrats chose Ukraine’s border over the U.S. border.

What’s more, 67% of self-described “liberals” chose Ukraine.
