But the topic of this thread is the war in Ukraine. The only demographic that overwhelmingly supports Ukraine is older Democrats. Younger Americans of all stripes do not.

Partisans also differ by age, with younger Republicans and Democrats more likely than their older counterparts to say the U.S. is giving too much aid to Ukraine. Younger partisans are also significantly more likely to answer “Not sure” on this question.

Democrats and Republicans also differ by age on this question. While 63% of Democrats ages 65 and older say aiding Ukraine helps U.S. national security, the share falls to 43% among Democrats under 30.
For their part, Republicans under 30 are more likely than those ages 65 and older to believe this support for Ukraine hurts U.S. national security (45% vs. 26%). Older Republicans are more likely than Republicans of other ages to say supporting Ukraine has no impact on domestic security.

As for who put Trump in power, what put him over the top was newfound support from younger males.
