Americans' desire to speed up the end of the Russia-Ukraine war has ticked up, a new Gallup survey found. The poll revealed that half of American respondents now desire a quick end to the more than two-year-long war even if it means Ukraine does not recover all its territory, an increase of 7 percentage points since March 2024. Support for a fast resolution had previously held steady at 43 percent since October 2023. The uptick in overall support is due to a 20-point increase among Republicans, 74 percent of whom now favor a quick end to the conflict, and a 9-point rise among Democrats since March to 30 percent, the survey said. These percentages mark new highs for each party. Independents' desire for a quick resolution, meanwhile, slightly decreased to 47 percent from 52 percent in March, the poll revealed. While 50 percent of respondents want a quick end to the war, however, 48 percent said they think the U.S. should continue to help Ukraine regain territory lost to Russia even if it means a prolonged conflict, the poll found. A majority of U.S. adults, 68 percent, said neither Russia nor Ukraine is winning the war, the poll found. Republicans and independents were more likely to say that Russia is winning, at 23 percent and 24 percent respectively, while 18 percent of Democrats said the same. Fifteen percent of Democrats said that Ukraine is winning compared to 7 percent of Republicans and 9 percent of independents. Overall, Americans were divided in their feelings about U.S. assistance for Ukraine, as 37 percent said the U.S. is doing too much to help the country while 31 percent said it is doing the right amount, the poll found. Thirty percent said the U.S. isn't doing enough — a decrease from the 36 percent who said the same in March, according to the survey. The survey was conducted Dec. 4-15 among 2,121 adults aged 18 and older. The margin of error was 2 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.
