Only 43% of Americans approve of Biden and a similar percentage approve of his handling of the relationship with Russia, according to a new AP-NORC poll.
Biden administration aims to work with key European allies
Fifty-six percent of Americans think Biden has not been tough enough on Russia, while 36% say his approach has been "about right."President Joe Biden spoke for the first time since the Russia invasion of Ukraine. Biden highlighted sanctions against Russia and said direct sanctions of Russian President Vladimir Putin are "still on the table."
"How many years are we gonna watch this happen and then have to step in anyway?" she added. "It just feels inevitable and, in the meantime, we’re just watching all these people suffer." "I think that he’s doing the right thing and being cautious, but it’s really hard when you’re watching and reading about these stories day to day," Collins said. "More aggressive at where we are means putting troops on the ground, and I don’t necessarily know if that’s the answer either."While Republicans are less likely than Democrats to support the U.S. having a major role in Russia’s war, most also say they think Biden’s response has not been tough enough.
Stoddard thinks there’s more Biden could be doing to strengthen sanctions and support Ukraine militarily, including transferring Polish MiG fighter jets to Ukraine from a NATO air base in Germany, which the Pentagon declined to do earlier in March. The administration has said it is determined to avoid further action that could be seen as escalatory by Putin.
