In the latest sign that the Make America Great Again coalition is holding strong, voters overwhelmingly believe Washington should get control of the U.S.-Mexico border crisis instead of “supporting” Ukraine in the war with Russia.
By a wide 2-to-1 margin, 60%-30%, likely voters, fueled by even larger percentages of Republicans and conservatives, said getting control of the border crisis is more important than aiding Kyiv. Democrats in a new poll are split, with 42% choosing the border as more important for U.S. national security and 45% Ukraine.

The survey said 65% see the border situation as a “crisis,” while 24% don’t. That includes 51% of Democrats, 60% of independents, and 84% of Republicans.

Trump leads all GOP primary polls by a significant margin, and those challengers pushing for Ukraine funding are in the single digits, far behind the former president. Trump and candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who has inched into second in the Republican primary race in several polls, have vowed to slow or end U.S. aid to Ukraine.
