A newly released poll commissioned by the Heritage Foundation and conducted by RMG Research Inc. has shed light on the sentiments of battleground state swing voters regarding key priorities for the Biden administration. The findings reveal a stark preference for addressing border security over allocating funds to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

According to the survey, which sampled 1,000 likely swing-state voters, a significant majority expressed strong support for halting the influx of migrants at the U.S. southern border. In contrast, there was minimal enthusiasm for channeling additional taxpayer dollars towards Ukraine. When asked to prioritize between “securing the border” and “providing funding for Ukraine,” a striking 50 percent of respondents indicated that border security was of greater importance.

The results underscore the depth of concern among voters regarding immigration and border control issues, particularly in states crucial to electoral outcomes. With ongoing debates over immigration policy and national security, these findings carry significant implications for policymakers and political candidates alike.

As the Biden administration grapples with competing demands and international crises, it faces the challenge of addressing voter priorities while navigating complex geopolitical dynamics. The poll results serve as a reminder of the importance of understanding and addressing the concerns of swing-state voters in shaping policy decisions.
