We're All Georgians?

Rasmussen Reports finds in a poll that 50% of Americans believe the United Nations should send peacekeepers into Georgia, but only 22% say U.S. troops should be involved.

They also found that:

Republicans are definitely more bullish in their attitudes toward Russia and the Georgia situation than Democrats. Fifty-five percent (55%) of GOP voters, for example, believe the United States should take diplomatic action against Russia versus 35% of Democrats. Nearly a third of Republicans (31%) believe U.S. troops should be part of a multi-national effort to bring peace to the region, although 46% disagree. By comparison, only 17% of Democrats say U.S. troops should be involved, while 65% are opposed.

What they didn’t ask, or at least, didn’t report on, was whether Americans would support sending military aid to Georgia to help them expel Russian forces from their territory – a suggestion that’s been floated by several American commentators.

What was more interesting (to me at least) was this finding: “In the new survey, 35% say they are worried that Russia will launch a nuclear attack on Poland, including eight percent who are Very Worried.”
