Many Americans still question whether President Biden is showing enough strength in response to Russia’s offensive in Ukraine even as most approve of steps the US is already taking, a poll finds
The poll and follow-up interviews indicate many Americans, responding to images of Ukrainians being killed, want to see more action to stop Russia.
A poll by The Associated Press-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research shows 54 percent of Americans think Biden has been “not tough enough” in his response.But as the conflict has dragged on, Americans’ desire to get involved has waned somewhat. Thirty-two percent of Americans say the US should have a major role in the conflict.
A majority — 57 percent — say they believe Putin has directed his troops to commit what his critics call “war crimes”. Just 6 percent say he has not, while 36 percent say they aren't sure.
