Half of Americans say Washington should push Ukraine to reach peace deal with Russia: Survey
A recent poll has shown that Americans are divided with about half of the people in the United States saying that Ukraine should be urged to close a peace deal with Russia.
Results of the Ipsos poll released on Monday showed that 47 percent of the Americans who were interviewed in the survey believed that Kiev should be forced into signing a peace pact with Moscow, as soon as possible.
It also found that about the same percentage of Americans (48 percent) were saying that the US should support Ukraine “for as long as it takes,” regardless of the potential costs to American citizens. That percentage has decreased by 10 points since July.
The survey, which was conducted by The Chicago Council on Global Affairs from November 18 to November 20 on Adults from all across the country and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points, found those Americans who were saying the US should urge Ukraine to settle its conflict with Russia were partially concerned about the costs of the Ukraine war on Americans households grappling with economic difficulties.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the rate of inflation has soared to a level unprecedented in nearly four decades, while credit debt reached levels unseen in three decades and unemployment was expected to rise. Most economists have predicted a return to recession, known as a “double-dip recession”.
Political observers say the primary reason the Democratic Party is set to lose control of Congress as a result of the Nov. 8 midterm elections is the lack of broad economic stability in the US.
They say the Democrats’ imminent loss of the House would lead to a divided government and make implementing economic solutions at the federal level even more difficult, thus fueling more problems for the economy which will in turn create economic problems for the already struggling Americans households.
