Russia-Ukraine Survey

In September 2025, AllSides and ActiVote collaborated on a survey on Russia and Ukraine with 8 questions, each with 5 possible answers. The poll was processed using ActiVote’s standard polling methodology (details in appendix A). The average sample size was 2,136 per question (ranging from a minimum of 1,902 to a maximum of 2,392) leading to an expected polling error of about 2.1%. We invite you to participate in this survey if you have not already.

For each of the questions we have looked at the overall opinion of all survey takers as well as the split based on political leanings, distinguishing between the left, moderate left, center, moderate right and the right, each representing 20% of the overall population.

On some topics, there is a clear majority opinion:

72% believe that Russia has no rightful claim on any of Ukraine’s territory
71% believe that the U.S. should increase sanctions on Russia.
70% believe that Ukraine should be in the lead in the negotiations with Russia
62% believe that a peace deal will involve compromises on both sides and/or territorial concessions.

On some topics consensus is hard to find:

94% of the left believes that we should at least provide Ukraine with any defensive military aid that they ask for, while 92% of the right believes that we should provide limited or no military aid to Ukraine.
The left wishes to balance military and diplomacy involvement, while the right is more focused on diplomacy and limited military support, if any.
74% of the left wishes to admit Ukraine to NATO immediately or in the near future, while 63% of the right wishes to reject NATO membership for the foreseeable future and possibly forever.
A plurality of 43% believes that we should continue to provide humanitarian aid, while 38% believe that we should not provide any more aid.

On these topics the majority of overall opinions were to provide limited military aid, to provide further humanitarian aid only with overwhelming bipartisan support, to balance military aid and diplomacy and to keep the door open to future NATO membership, but not take any action at this time.

The survey shows three different possible narratives, which have been summarized below. The first represents the overall opinion of the nation as a whole. The second presents the narrative of the left-most quintile of the population, while the third narrative presents the opinion of the right-most quintile of the population.

The National Opinion

The national opinion on Russia-Ukraine is that Russia has no legitimate claim to Ukraine. We should continue humanitarian aid, but limit military aid and focus on diplomacy at this point. We should maximize sanctions on Russia and postpone a decision on NATO membership for Ukraine. The allies (including the U.S.) led by Ukraine should negotiate with Russia and aim for a negotiated compromise in the near future.

The Left

The left’s opinion on Russia-Ukraine is that Russia has no claim whatsoever to Ukraine. We should provide maximum humanitarian aid and any and all military aid that Ukraine requests. We should put maximum sanctions on Russia and admit Ukraine to NATO immediately. We should balance diplomacy and military support, be part of allied negotiations with Russia, led by Ukraine, and we should aim for total victory for Ukraine.

The Right

The right’s opinion on Russia-Ukraine is that Russia does not really have a claim to Ukraine. We should stop humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine. We should not invite Ukraine into NATO. We should maintain current sanctions on Russia. We should focus on diplomatic efforts where either Ukraine alone, or together with its allies (but led by Ukraine) aim to negotiate an immediate or near future settlement which will include compromises and/or major territorial concessions.

In the next 8 sections we present the summary results per individual question.
