62% of Americans Support Ukraine Arms Aid, 64% Support Security Guarantees

Polls reveal that majorities of Americans from both parties not only support continued US military aid to Ukraine but also approve of US security guarantees to the country. 

This support across the political spectrum complicates and potentially challenges the White House's evident preference for Russia and Putin. JL

This view is shared by the majority of voters across all parties.
