* The findings from the Reagan National Defense Survey show 62% of Americans back Ukraine over Russia, with majorities of both Republicans and Democrats aligning behind Kyiv.
* Support for sending U.S. weapons has climbed as well, rising nine percentage points to 64% compared to last year.
* Seventy percent of respondents said they don’t trust Russia to honor a peace agreement it might sign with Ukraine. That includes 61% of Republicans and 77% of Democrats — evidence that concerns about Russia as a hostile power aren’t limited to one party.
* When asked about end goals in the war, the largest share (45%) of respondents favored liberating all territory occupied by Russian forces. That was the top preference for both parties.
* Support for NATO has surged to 68%, the highest in the survey’s history since it began in 2018, after member nations increased defense spending under pressure from President Donald Trump.
* The broader Ronald Reagan Institute survey results show a record 64% of Americans saying they want the United States to be more engaged and take the lead in international affairs, including 79% of MAGA Republicans.

I agree, most people in the USA want Ukraine to win over Russia, and are more than happy to send them weapons (it helps our economy in the long run).
But I didn’t see anything about the support for sending actual US or NATO troops (which would include US) into Ukraine to help them, which I suspect is low.
