A new Quinnipiac poll finds that Americans would support a ban on Russian oil even if it meant higher gasoline prices in the United States, 71% to 22%.

As for the steps the Biden administration has taken so far to punish Russia for invading Ukraine, 56% say they are not tough enough, while 30% say they are about right, and 3% say they are too tough.
