Ipsos data, 70% of Americans disapprove of [President] Biden’s handling of gas prices, though even more respondents — 77% — support his proposal to ban Russian oil, even if it means paying more at the pump.”
How do you explain this dichotomy?...an awful lot of people don't really THINK through such issues...in this case, those respondents are frustrated and angered by increased gas prices, yet at the same time are very sympathetic to the plight of Ukrainians...very reasonable opinions on their part...it's just that they are torn between the two...it's up to the "Leaders" to identify the true danger (e.g. unprovoked wars by autocrats vs. temporary increases in gas prices) and do what needs to be done.
