Americans don't agree on where Trump stands on helping Ukraine
Core finding
Verasight surveyed 1,000 U.S. adults from September 25 to 30, 2026. 35.6% of Americans think Trump's position is to give Ukraine a little support, 15.7% think none and 14.5% a lot. Another 6.9% think he wants full American power used to help Ukraine win, and 27.3% say it's hard to say.
The question asks what people understand Trump's position to be, not what they want U.S. policy to be.
