That source allows you to see the results according to political affiliation. Pluralities of supporters of the Conservatives, Labour, and Lib Dems think that supporting Ukraine is more important.

The exception is Reform UK, whose supporters think that good relations with the USA are more important than supporting Ukraine.

      Are they inaccurate? What polling company would be better for this sort of political question?

    What would be the point of sucking up to the current iteration of the US? They’ll stab you in the back regardless.

    It’s a clear time to increase unity with Europe. I don’t mean re-open any EU discussions, simply work with them on united response to Russian aggression.

    This American supports the priorities shown by the polling numbers.

    We need more nations standing up to Trump, not more nations bending the knee. It doesn’t just help you, it helps us.

          absolutely. but we need help. ~30% of the country supports this. ~25% abhors it. the remaining ~45% are living in a false sense of thinking they know what’s going on and the other ~55% sound like two different kind of lunatic. we are doing all we can to wake them up, but we need the world to say we, as a nation, are the baddies. that will push some of the 45 into the 30, but it will do more to push thore 45 into the 25. americans like to think themselves the heroes of history. so please. saction us like we’re russia. because we are

          Nothing will change until GOP base turns on him.

          A sovereign needs only like 30% of the adult population to maintain sufficient support for what Trump is doing.

          He is clearly that and some. He has support of the oligarchy.

              the last two deposed US presidents jfk and nixon were deposed by the ruling class.

              trump already had two attempts fail.

              until his base and or ruling class turn on him. he is gonna rule.

    I recently read an opinion piece by a GB News writer (masochism I guess) in which he said Keir Starmer was out of touch with UK sentiment for prioritising Ukraine over the US. Now, Sir Keir is a woeful prick of a red tory, but its quite nice to have confirmation that GBeebies are badly misinformed on this topic too.

      Many people will claim that the public is on their side, without providing actual evidence. I guess that’s why polling is important.

      Then you have some people who claim the polls are rigged, but I think it’s more likely that the polls are pretty accurate.

      Came to say the same.

      Half of us think the country shits gold and the world will bend over.

      If you had a family member who behaved like we did, it would be time for an intervention.

      Christ, I’d rather see Boris Johnson as our president than what we have, at least he’s Mr Bean level of political stupid. Ours is just vile hate and greed.

        Johnson would be better but his Mr Bean act is totally on purpose. He acts like that so you wouldn’t think him capable of far right cruelty. I’ve read that he even intentionally messes up his hair before he goes in front of cameras.

          It’s all part of his cleverly crafted persona. Just like him using his middle name. The average Brit doesn’t know that the real man is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, who used to burn £50 notes in front of homeless people for fun.

          Remember this guy wanted to invade the Netherlands.

          This time it’s the US that’s 4 years behind. You have your own Dominic Cummings and everything.

    Why is there a “Neither” option? I mean in practice “Neither” could mean to strike a perfect 50/50 balance. Or it could mean to antagonize both of them. Or it could mean “i don’t really care”. So what makes “Neither” a separate and relevant category to “Don’t know”, which could also mean “i don’t know how to prioritize the two” or “i don’t really care” or “what is an US and is it a newer model or older than the Ukraine?”

    The Uk is between a rock and hard place geopolitically. It seems that joining the eu is political suicide but aligning economically with the Usa means selling off the nhs.

    I guess the best we can hope for is going our own way and hoping for some economic miracle . Maybe we’ll discover some more north sea oil…
