Voters want to keep helping Ukraine fight Russia, even as their sense of the war’s relevancy declines, according to a new Fox News survey.
Six in 10 favor the United States continuing to provide weapons (61%) and financial aid (59%) to Ukraine. That is unchanged since March when a similar number said the U.S. should "be doing more" to help in the fight.

Voters are also not buying White House attempts to tie current gas prices to the war. By an 18-point margin, they say Presiden Joe Biden’s policies are more responsible for prices at the pump than Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine (50-32%).

While voters support continued aid to Ukraine, fewer now think what happens there makes a difference at home. Some 78% say the war matters at least some to life in the U.S., down from 85% in both April and March. In addition, the 41% saying it matters a great deal is down 10 points.
How much does Ukraine issue affect US poll (Fox News)
The overall 7-point decline comes from a drop in the number of Republicans (-10 points) and independents (-9) thinking Ukraine matters, as views among Democrats mostly held steady (-2).
Three-quarters of Democrats favor sending more weapons and financial aid to Ukraine, compared to around half of Republicans and independents.
Russia invaded Ukraine nearly four months ago (Feb. 24). Since then, the U.S. has spent more than $55 billion dollars on the war -- including an additional $1 billion in weapons and $225 million in humanitarian aid announced Thursday.
When asked which party can better handle foreign policy, voters pick Republicans over Democrats by 8 points. Yet as inflation dominates, foreign policy is a lesser priority these days. Only 1% say it is the deciding issue for their vote in the midterms, while 41% say inflation.
