A new poll shows that more Americans think the US is not doing enough to support Ukraine. The percentage of people who feel this way has jumped by 16 points since December. This shift comes as President Trump continues working on ending the war. For the first time, nearly half of Americans say Washington should increase its aid. In contrast, fewer people now believe the US is doing too much. The findings mark a major change in public opinion compared to previous polls the Gallup survey found. The latest Gallup Poll shows significant shifts in how Americans view this issue.
The poll found that 46% of Americans now say the US is not providing enough help to Ukraine. Meanwhile, 30% believe the US is doing too much, and 23% think the support is at the right level. These numbers highlight how opinions have changed over time. In December, only 30% thought the US should do more. Before this, most Americans felt Washington was already doing too much. The Gallup Poll shows a major change, reflecting how the war has influenced public opinion over the past three years. The debate over how much help to provide remains a key issue.
Last week, President Trump fully restored US military aid and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine. This decision came after a short pause during a dispute with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The two leaders clashed in a heated Oval Office meeting last month. Zelensky challenged Trump and Vice President JD Vance over whether Russia could be trusted to keep its word. According to the poll, 79% of Americans are worried that Russia will not follow any agreement. The Gallup Poll shows this concern remains a major factor in the ongoing debate over US involvement in the war.
Trump has repeatedly criticized the billions of dollars the US has sent to Ukraine since the war began. He recently proposed a mineral-rights agreement with Ukraine to offset these costs. At the same time, the White House has been working on a cease-fire deal. Last week, Ukraine agreed to a 30-day cease-fire after facing pressure from the Trump administration. Trump then spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the proposal. While Russia rejected Trump’s full cease-fire request, the Kremlin did agree to pause attacks on Ukraine’s energy and infrastructure for 30 days. This temporary halt is meant to create room for peace talks between the two nations. The Gallup Poll shows the influence of recent political moves on American opinion.
More Democrats and Independents now feel the US should increase its support for Ukraine. The poll found that 79% of Democrats believe Washington is not doing enough. This is a sharp rise of 31 points since December. Among Independents, 46% also say more should be done, reflecting a 14-point increase. Meanwhile, Republican views have stayed the same. Only 12% of Republicans think the US should provide more support, a number that has not changed since December. These shifts show that the issue of Ukraine aid is becoming increasingly divided along party lines. The Gallup Poll shows a clear divide between the parties on this issue.
Public support for Ukraine’s fight to reclaim its lost territory is growing. According to the poll, 53% of Americans now support Ukraine’s efforts to take back land seized by Russia. This marks a 5-point increase since December. On the other hand, 45% favor Trump’s plan for a quicker end to the war through negotiations. Since the conflict began, Russia has captured nearly one-fifth of Ukraine’s land. Moscow has also tried to gain control over four key territories in the Donbas region. Zelensky remains firm in his goal of reclaiming stolen land. However, he has signaled that he may consider diplomatic solutions in the future.
Many Americans believe that neither Russia nor Ukraine is winning the war. The Gallup Poll shows that 63% of people think the conflict is at a stalemate. Another 26% feel Russia has the upper hand, while only 10% believe Ukraine is ahead. These views reflect the long and difficult nature of the war, with no clear resolution in sight.
The Gallup Poll shows the survey was conducted from March 3 to 11. It followed the intense Oval Office meeting between Zelensky, Trump, and Vance. The poll included 2,219 American adults and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points. As the war continues and the US debates its level of involvement, public opinion remains divided on the best path forward.
