NATO’s decision not to enforce a no-fly zone, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll of adults released today. Democrats say 58 – 30 percent, independents say 57 – 30 percent, and Republicans say 47 – 38 percent that they approve of NATO’s decision not to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Three-quarters of Americans (75 percent) say the U.S. should do whatever it can to help Ukraine, without risking a direct war between the U.S. and Russia, while 17 percent say the U.S. should do whatever it can to help Ukraine, even if it means risking a direct war between the U.S. and Russia.

A majority of Americans (60 percent) think Russian President Vladimir Putin is mentally unstable, while 24 percent say he is mentally stable.

As for politicians and media figures who have had words of praise for Putin in the last several weeks, 57 percent of Americans say they view those individuals less favorably, while 36 percent say it doesn’t affect their opinion of those individuals, and 2 percent say they view those individuals more favorably.
