Key Findings
- Just under half of the U.S. adults surveyed – 46% – favor creating a no-fly zone in Ukraine airspace, increasing U.S. involvement with the risk of possible nuclear war.
- Asked if the U.S. should continue to ban Russian oil and gas imports – even if it means gas prices would continue to rise – a majority of both Democrats and Republicans polled agreed, with 49% answering “definitely yes,” and 25% responding “probably yes,” for a total of 74% in favor.
- With 71% in favor, respondents also back term limits for U.S. Supreme Court justices.
