At least 39 percent, however, say they have \u201chardly any\u201d confidence in the Democrat, whose approval rating hit an all-time low of <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/news\/administration\/bidens-approval-dips-to-lowest-of-presidency-ap-norc-poll\/\">39 percent<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, 54 percent of Americans say they disapprove of Biden\u2019s handling of U.S. relations with Russia in general. <\/p>\n<p>Because of their distrust in Biden, fewer Americans see taking action against Russia as a priority. In March, 55 percent of U.S. adults said sanctioning Russia should be a higher priority for the Biden administration than protecting the American economy. Since then, that number has dropped 10 percentage points. <\/p>\n<p>Now, 51 percent of American adults say the federal government should focus on limiting damage to the U.S. economy which is already suffering from record-high gas prices and rising inflation. Biden, however, continues to blame the nation\u2019s economic woes, which started long before shots were fired in Ukraine, on \u201cPutin\u2019s price hike.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>With help from <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/11\/americans-dont-want-war-with-russia-but-republicans-and-democrats-are-forcing-it-anyway\/\">Republicans and Democrats<\/a> in Congress, Biden also devoted time and effort to funneling $40 billion in taxpayer dollars to the Ukrainian government, despite the fact that at least 32 percent of Americans surveyed by AP said they oppose sending funds directly to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s administration is also <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/23\/biden-administrations-creep-towards-war-in-ukraine-escalates-with-more-troop-talk\/\">considering sending troops<\/a> to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, despite the president\u2019s previous pledge to restrict military deployment to NATO countries only and Americans\u2019 strong opposition to boots on the ground.  <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
