They say the other side (favour US over Ukraine) is only 20% - so 48:20 is a big difference ( in such surveys, there are always plenty who don't know or hedge bets - and many people just don't think beyond their local world) .

Not simply how many people support Ukraine, how many people choose Ukraine over America. Now it’s a pretty big number.

I'm aware of what the number represents. I just find it surprising that anyone would want to side with someone as selfish as Trump. The man doesn't know the meaning of loyalty. He'll fuck you over the second you have something he wants.

The U.S. is not a reliable ally anymore. Ukraine could be.
