Ukraine War Views: U.S. Consensus vs. Partisan Rifts in ActiVote Poll

The Right -> Left Divide on Ukraine Joining NATO is clear

ActiVote / AllSides poll reveals 72% reject Russia’s claims to Ukraine. The left pushes NATO, while the right seeks peace talks.

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, September 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ActiVote, in collaboration with AllSides, today released the findings of a comprehensive survey exploring American attitudes toward the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Conducted in September 2025, the poll surveyed over 2,000 respondents per question on average, revealing significant consensus on some issues while highlighting stark partisan divides on others.

The survey provides a detailed snapshot of national sentiment, segmented by political leanings: left, moderate left, center, moderate right, and right.

Key findings include strong majorities on certain topics:
- 72% of respondents believe Russia has no rightful claim to any of Ukraine’s territory.
- 71% support increasing sanctions on Russia.
- 70% agree that Ukraine should lead negotiations with Russia.
- 62% expect a peace deal to involve compromises and/or territorial concessions from both sides.

However, the survey also uncovered deep divisions, particularly along political lines:
- 94% of left-leaning respondents favor providing Ukraine with at least any defensive military aid requested, compared to 92% of right-leaning respondents who prefer limited or no military aid.
- On NATO membership for Ukraine, 74% of the left supports immediate or near-future admission, while 63% of the right opposes it for the foreseeable future or permanently.
- Humanitarian aid sees a plurality (43%) supporting continued provision, but 38% believe no more aid should be given.

The results distill into three distinct narratives:

National Opinion: Russia has no legitimate claim to Ukraine. Continue humanitarian aid but limit military aid and prioritize diplomacy. Maximize sanctions and postpone NATO decisions. Allies, led by Ukraine, should negotiate a compromise soon.

Left Opinion: Russia has no claim to Ukraine. Provide maximum humanitarian and military aid. Impose maximum sanctions and admit Ukraine to NATO immediately. Balance diplomacy and military support for a total Ukrainian victory.

Right Opinion: Russia has little claim to Ukraine. Halt humanitarian and military aid. Reject NATO membership. Maintain current sanctions. Focus on diplomacy for an immediate settlement with compromises or concessions.

The full survey results, including detailed breakdowns by question and political leaning, are available to explore.
