The controversial claim can be sourced to a recent Quinnipiac University poll that showed a wide partisan divide in Americans' responses. But is it accurate?

Equating the objective evaluation of the risks of staying in Ukraine, a country under siege, to 'abandoning' the U.S., a country with the world's most powerful military, is, at best, misleading.

If that is indeed how responders understood Question 8, then it would be entirely inappropriate to extrapolate the American public's reaction to a domestic assault of a similar nature from their response to a non-American hypothetical. "As you may know, the United States is a member of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Its collective defense treaty states that an attack on one NATO country is an attack on all NATO countries. If Russian Presidentgoes beyond Ukraine and attacks a NATO country, would you support or oppose a military response from the United States?"
