Europe needs to step up in supporting Ukraine: Rep. Mike Waltz
Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., discusses the war in Ukraine after the U.S. agrees to send tanks to support the Ukrainian war effort.
Just over half of American voters think Ukraine is winning the war against Russia and nearly two-thirds want to keep helping them in their fight, according to a new Fox News survey.
Sixty-four percent favor the U.S. continuing to provide weapons to Ukraine and 63% support ongoing financial aid. Those numbers are up a touch compared to six months ago, when approval was 61% for weapons and 59% for money.

Majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and independents want to help Ukraine in both ways, although to varying degrees.
About 8 in 10 Democrats back continuing financial (79%) and weapon support (79%). Fewer Republicans and independents feel that way, as just over half favor sending additional funding (51% and 55% respectively) and weapons (55% and 56%).

Some 68% of voters are concerned about the war, down from a high of 82% in March 2022, which was soon after Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24. These days, more are worried about inflation (86%), crime rates (80%), political divisions within the U.S. (78%), and opioid addiction across the country (76%).

Democrats (61%) are more likely than independents (50%) and Republicans (42%) to believe Ukraine is winning and to be concerned about the war (76% of Democrats are concerned vs. 64% of Republicans and 61% of independents).
Of the issues included on the survey, Biden receives his best marks for how he’s handling Russia/Ukraine: 45% approve, while 51% disapprove. That’s better than his ratings on the economy (37-61%), border security (35-61%), immigration (35-61%), and inflation (31-66%).
Part of what pushes Biden’s Russia/Ukraine ratings higher is that 21% of Republicans approve – more than double what they give him on any other issue.
The president’s overall job performance rating stands at 45% approve vs. 54% disapprove, which is right around where it’s been since September.
