Nearly three-quarters of Americans say the Russian invasion of Ukraine is likely to hurt the U.S. economy, according to a new poll by Rasmussen Reports.
Only 14% say they don’t expect the invasion to hurt the U.S. economy, with 12% saying they are uncertain.
Here are how the poll results, released on Friday, break down:
- 77% of White Americans believe the Russian invasion of Ukraine is at least somewhat likely to damage the U.S. economy.
- 69% of Black Americans say the invasion is at least somewhat likely to hurt the economy.
- 20% say the economic impact of the war will last less than six months.
- 34% say it will last six months to a year.
- 28% say it will last more than a year.
The poll, conducted March 1-2, surveyed 1,000 Americans. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
