The ongoing war in Ukraine continues to impact American attitudes toward global engagement.
The 2023 Chicago Council Survey, conducted September 7–18, finds US involvement in the war between Russia and Ukraine has played a role in American attitudes on foreign policy. Though still considerable, support for continued assistance to Kyiv has slipped from previous readings, and public support has also dampened for defending US allies and maintaining US military bases abroad.
Republicans, in particular, have grown more doubtful of the value of continued US engagement overseas. For the first time in nearly 50 years of Council polling, a majority of Republicans think the United States should stay out of world affairs rather than play an active part.
