Almost 38% of Americans said they would flee the country if they were in the same position as Ukrainians, while 55% said they would stay and fight, according to a Quinnipiac University poll published on Monday.

The poll also highlighted differences between Republicans and Democrats, with 68% of Republicans saying they would stay and fight compared to 40% of Democrats, while 52% of Democrats said they would flee the US, compared to 25% of Republicans.

With regards to refugees, Republicans are far less likely to accept Ukrainian refugees than Democrats, with 66% of Republicans saying they would, compared to 91% of Democrats, revealing deep divides in American society on how to handle the repercussions of foreign policy choices.

Perhaps more tellingly, 86% of Americans think that the Russian people don't have a full understanding of what is happening in Ukraine.
