Tracking Sentiment on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Surveys conducted among representative samples of roughly 2,000 registered U.S. voters each, with unweighted margins of error of +/-2 percentage points.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine instigated a humanitarian crisis and rekindled the embers of the Cold War era, provoking a unified response from the West as well as most of the free world. The mostly financial nature of that response has wreaked havoc on the global economy, and the specter of potential escalation into a broader military conflict is casting a pall over the international order. Morning Consult is tracking how views of the ongoing conflict among Americans and adults around the world are shifting in the wake of Russia’s invasion, and you can find fresh data here each month.

Methodology
The Russia-Ukraine Crisis Tracker relies on a monthly survey to track how U.S. voters’ opinions on the war in Ukraine and the U.S. role therein evolve over time. We also use daily surveys in 11 major countries to track views of Russia. The latest results are based on a survey of 1,980 registered U.S. voters conducted June 30-July 2, 2023, with an unweighted margin of error of +/-2 percentage points. The international surveys were conducted daily in June among at least 900 adults in each country, with unweighted margins of error of up to +/-3 percentage points.
In February 2023, Morning Consult changed the survey frequency of our Russia-Ukraine Crisis Tracker to a monthly cadence. To request weekly data from Feb. 24, 2022, to Feb. 26, 2023, please reach out to[email protected].
