(NewsNation) — Thirty-three percent of Americans think the United States is doing too much to help Ukraine, according to a new poll.
As reported in the poll, 18% think the U.S. is doing too little, and 41% think the U.S. is doing about the right amount to help Ukraine.
In the poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University Poll, Americans were also asked if President Joe Biden’s authorization to send cluster munitions to Ukraine despite concerns for human rights.
According to the poll, 51% of Americans disapproved of the presidents actions, and 39% approved.
Lawmakers also appear to be split on Biden’s actions.
Many have stated that the bombs will threaten civilians’ safety. Cluster munitions contain multiple explosive submunitions and are banned by many countries due to the risks the explosives may pose to civilians.
Nearly 64% of Americans think supporting Ukraine is in the national interest of the United States, and 29% think it’s not.
Last year, in a NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll soon after the Ukraine War started, 73% of Americans supported sending weapons to Ukraine and two-thirds favored increasing sanctions against Russia even if it hurt gas prices. Opposition for involvement in Ukraine was less than 20%, according to the NewsNation poll.
A majority of Americans at the time were only opposed to involving American troops in the conflict.
