Doorstep guest #ColinDueck writing in @TheNatlInterest breaks down Republican attitudes on Russia and Ukraine. Citing @pewresearch polls, he notes "73 percent of Republicans favor working with U.S. allies to respond to the Russian invasion." 1/
A March survey conducted by @Reuters , shows an overwhelming majority of GOP voters support a robust set of U.S. measures against Putin’s Russia. Some 3/4 of Republicans support U.S. arms shipments to Ukraine, rigorous economic sanctions, a ban on the import of Russian oil ... 2/
and the seizure of assets from Russian oligarchs. And according to a @Gallup poll released March 14, only 15 percent of Americans view Putin’s Russia favorably. Democrats and Republicans both respond in the same way. There is no real partisan difference on this issue. 3/
"the great majority of Republican voters were neither pro-Putin nor pro-Russian, and never had been. Most GOP voters, and for that matter most core Trump supporters, said quite consistently throughout those four years that they supported NATO." 4/

Narrative themes from @POTUS #SOTU: A 🧵... Connecting to the work done by the U.S. Global Engagement project of @carnegiecouncil ... 1/
