Poll: Americans warm to Biden's approach on Russia and Ukraine
President Biden’s approval rating for his handling of Russia and Ukraine has risen 5 percentage points since the start of the war in Eastern Europe more than two weeks ago, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll — including a 12-point gain among self-described independent voters.
Yet spiraling gas prices, remote peace prospects and rampant U.S. partisanship make Biden’s hopes of a political turnaround seem tenuous at best.
The survey of 1,623 U.S. adults, which was conducted from March 10 to 14, found that as the invasion wears on — with almost hourly reports of new Russian atrocities and Ukrainian casualties — Americans are becoming increasingly appalled by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions and increasingly aligned with the Biden administration’s response.
The percentage of respondents who now say Biden is doing “a better job leading his country” than Putin, for instance, climbed 7 points (from 33% to 40%), while the percentage who say Putin is doing a better job leading than Biden fell by roughly the same amount (from 19% to 10%) — a net swing of 16 points in Biden’s direction. This reflected both an increase in Democrats choosing Biden (from 68% to 80%) and a decrease in Republicans choosing Putin (from 36% to 19%), with a corresponding rise in Republicans choosing “neither” (from 46% to 63%).
