Boost for Biden as poll shows support for Ukraine weapons

A two-day opinion poll in the US has found that 41% of people said they backed sending weapons to Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

This compared to 32% who were opposed – the rest were unsure.

The poll, carried out by global market research group Ipsos and Reuters in October, found that support for weapons was stronger among Democrats than Republicans. 

Around 1,006 US adults were questioned for the poll. 

US officials have cautioned that funding for military aid destined for Ukraine is running low, as the Republican-controlled House and Democratic majority Senate remain at odds.

The Biden administration requested back in October, around $60bn (£48bn) more in assistance to Kyiv, with an additional $40bn (£32bn) to provide aid to Israel.
