A recent survey has revealed that a significant number of American voters, particularly women and Hispanics, believe that Congress and President Joe Biden are providing excessive financial assistance to Ukraine, with a hefty $61 billion headed their way. The survey indicated that 47% of respondents considered this amount too much, only 20% expressed a desire for more funding, and 24% felt that the level of assistance was right.

Despite bipartisan support in the Senate, which resulted in the approval of various funding bills, including foreign aid, Biden is expected to sign off on these measures swiftly. Nonetheless, the Rasmussen survey reflected the sentiments of many likely voters who align with key House Republicans in their belief that the United States has already allocated excessive resources to aiding Ukraine in the face of Russia’s incursion.
A majority of women, Hispanics, and Republicans are opposed to further spending on this front, especially considering that the new funding will nearly double President Biden’s original investment in Ukraine. The funding package also encompasses allocations for Israel and other global conflict zones.

The survey findings indicated a prevailing sentiment of support for funding Israel, with 49% of respondents believing that the current level of support is either appropriate or insufficient. Furthermore, the survey illuminated a broader perspective among voters, with 57% indicating a belief that Washington is overly generous in its provision of foreign aid.
Overall, the survey underscores the widespread concern among American voters, particularly within specific demographics, regarding the allocation of taxpayer-funded support to foreign nations, with many expressing reservations about the level of aid being extended to Ukraine, as well as to other countries such as Israel.
