That source allows you to see the results according to political affiliation. Pluralities of supporters of the Conservatives, Labour, and Lib Dems think that supporting Ukraine is more important.
The exception is Reform UK, whose supporters think that good relations with the USA are more important than supporting Ukraine.
This American supports the priorities shown by the polling numbers.
We need more nations standing up to Trump, not more nations bending the knee. It doesn’t just help you, it helps us.
It needs to be stopped from the inside. Your rapist leader needs to be put down like a rabid dog.
absolutely. but we need help. ~30% of the country supports this. ~25% abhors it. the remaining ~45% are living in a false sense of thinking they know what’s going on and the other ~55% sound like two different kind of lunatic. we are doing all we can to wake them up, but we need the world to say we, as a nation, are the baddies. that will push some of the 45 into the 30, but it will do more to push thore 45 into the 25. americans like to think themselves the heroes of history. so please. saction us like we’re russia. because we are
If it were an option, then it might be better to selfishly keep good relations with the US. But Trump will always try to extract as much as possible, regardless of ‘good relations’. So the choice is really between helping Ukraine or not, knowing the US will be the same either way.

Or the UK could prioritise good relations with Europe instead, which the public seems to support (source for below image):
Fair point. Arguably the British public has a more negative view of the EU than Europe as a whole though. So if the British public wants to increase trade with the EU then they would probably be fine with increasing trade with Europe as a whole.
By the way I’m not including Russia when I say “Europe”. They don’t even consider themselves European - they consider themselves Eurasian.
What would be the point of sucking up to the current iteration of the US? They’ll stab you in the back regardless.
It’s a clear time to increase unity with Europe. I don’t mean re-open any EU discussions, simply work with them on united response to Russian aggression.
getting your thumb slammed in a door is more important than good relations with the usa
American here. Good.
