America is starting to tire of the money and material wasting and there’s a long way to go yet.

Americans are waking up the fact that Ukrainian government is as corrupt as the Russian government (and the Biden administration). It has no interest in the wellbeing of Ukrainians, just in filling its own pockets.
I wonder how much Zelensky has made from the black market sales of the weapons we have sent him?

Most of the "support" I saw was nothing more than PR-type virtue signaling.

Anyone with half a brain knew the whole thing was a globalist racket when you had Lindsey Graham, Bernie Sanders and Mo Brooks all on the same side -- falling all over themselves to spend tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to support a corrupt regime in some place most Americans couldn't find on a map.

"While 53% of US adults agree that Washington should continue to support Kiev “until all Russian forces are withdrawn from territory claimed by Ukraine,” 28% are undecided, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday."

Lets ignore the headline and do some grade-school math. 53% support the U.S. involvement, 28% have no opinion, Which means 19% are opposed.

19% oppose our involvment in defending Ukraine, not 90%. The "increasing doubt" has a long way to go.

Just send the $3 Billion for this week to the Cayman Islands, and be done with it!

This one issue demonstrates our system is broken and the Politicians could care less about you and the next generation of slave workers and breadlines.

Okay, how about from their own website: https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/about

Tasnim News Agency is a new but at the same time a leading news agency in Iran. It covers a wide variety of political, social, economic and international subjects along with other fields in an effort to boost public knowledge and awareness both inside and outside the country.

Defending the Islamic Revolution against negative media propaganda campaign and providing our readers with realities on the ground about Iran and Islam, specially current wave of the Islamic Awakening in the region are top on our agenda in Tasnim News Agency.

The Islamic nature of the developments in the region and similarities between the Islamic Awakening Movement, which swept the Middle East and North Africa since 2011, and Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution have unveiled Islamic Revolution’s inspiring role in the region. The development came despite efforts made by opponents and enemies of Iran to block the country’s growing influence in the region and in the world.

For its part, the English department of Tasnim News Agency, staffed with skilled Iranian media professionals, will provide readers with English version of articles, news, photos, videos and analyses produced in the Persian department, but not necessarily every piece of the Persian products.

I’d never heard of the Tasnim News Agency. It is from Iran. That sounds like a reputable source. #sarcasm

I would beware of any poll that doesn't quantify what exactly "back" or "support" means.

I got an e-mail from a professional associate shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. His company was proudly "supporting" Ukraine (whatever the hell that meant), and they sent out this e-mail blast to all their clients, partners, and other contacts.

The message originated in the guy's corporate office that happened to be right across the street from a Ukraine consulate in a major U.S. city. I only knew that because they made a point of mentioning it in the e-mail.

I sent a message back to the guy telling him I was proud of his company's support for Ukraine. I asked him how many of his employees had walked across the street to volunteer to serve in the Ukrainian military.

I haven't heard from him since. Perhaps I was removed from his company's e-mail distribution list.

So many are just wrong about this. Brave Ukraine is defending DEMOCRACY against evil invaders. We must give them more weapons and support! If it takes 100 Billion dollars to stop Putin it is cheap at half the price! This war may not last long—Russia is on her last legs. They are losing men each minute of the day. Victory is just around the corner! Soon all Ukraine will be FREE of Russians. Europe need Ukraine and should admit them to EU and NATO ASAP! The armies of Europe need to defend this new member! But, no, Ukraine is winning so well that it will be over before the First French Tanks roll into Kiev. Russia, even now, is begging for Turkey to start the Russian Surrender Terms. Drones have proven the Russian Tanks and warships are valueless—nothing but moving targets for out great weapons systems. Rolling and seaborn coffins only. Just look at the News! Each day Russians waste their shells upon impenetrable Ukrainian Trenches and Fortress cities. Not one meter of Ukraine will fall into the hands of the Russian barbarian invaders. Just watch the News! Victory is coming next week.

It’s an Ipsos poll from America.

Oh, is that what he posted a link to? Or is the link to the Tasnim News Agency which is a Islamo/Fascist supporting Tehran based 'news org'. Idiot

Support = Rah! Rah!

A better question is how many are willing to suffer a 50% increase in electricity prices, 100% increase in Natgas prices and $5/gal gas in order to “support Ukraine”?

That’s really the only question that matters.

Time for Steven Colbert to gin up the troops to sacrifice for the war to punish Russia for their bad behavior. Make them glad to pay $5.00/gal gas.

And stop sanctioning Russian oil and gas. The only people getting hurt by that are us.

You realize we live in a sea of censorship, right? It's not the NY Times, Washington Post or CNN, but you can go look for articles/polls that go against the approved agenda there if you care to.

People are especially incredulous of any claim that the US authorities are for "freedom".

It's part of a more general trend of not believing what "they" tell us.
