The poll shows solid majorities of both Democrats and Republicans endorse U.S. sanctions on Russia and favor candidates supporting military aid for Ukraine in the November midterm elections.
Roughly half of Americans, including six in ten Democrats and nearly half of Republicans, express concern about potential Russian interference in the congressional elections through misinformation.
President Biden's approval for his response to the Ukraine crisis (46%) surpasses his ratings for the economy (37%) and high energy prices (32%), despite his overall low presidential approval.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
