Majority of Americans back troop presence in Europe: poll

A majority of Americans back the presence of troops in Europe as Russia continues its assault on Ukraine, according to a new Monmouth University Poll.

The poll found 69 percent of U.S. citizens support American troops stationed within the borders of European allies in order to keep Russian President Vladimir Putin from advancing his attack outside Ukraine.

Currently, the U.S. has thousands of troops in NATO countries such as Poland, and the Biden administration has committed to defending any NATO member state Putin could try to go after.

However, Americans are not in favor of troops in Ukraine itself, with 56 percent opposed and 41 percent in support.
