The survey findings are consistent with other recent polls that have found strong support for US aid to Israel and Ukraine. A poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in March 2023 found that 71% of Americans support US aid to Israel, while 63% support US aid to Ukraine.
The strong public support for US aid to Israel and Ukraine is likely due to a number of factors. First, both countries are seen as key allies of the United States. Israel is a major partner in the Middle East, and Ukraine is a key player in the fight against Russian aggression.

Second, both countries are seen as victims of aggression. Israel has been the target of numerous terrorist attacks, and Ukraine has been invaded by Russia.

The Biden administration should heed the findings of the Reagan Institute survey and continue to provide strong support to Israel and Ukraine.
