37% Favor Diplomatic Action Against Russia Over Ukraine
As tensions escalate over Ukraine, U.S. voters are increasingly critical of Russia but are evenly divided over whether the United States should try to punish the Russians diplomatically.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% of Likely U.S. Voters think the United States should take diplomatic action if Russia gets directly involved in the political situation in Ukraine. But just as many (36%) disagree and oppose U.S. diplomatic action against Russia. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
