Most Americans want Biden to take tough stand with Putin - CBS News poll

Most Americans want President Biden to take a tough stance in dealing with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, rather than a cooperative approach, at their upcoming summit, as majorities believe Russia is using cyberattacks against the U.S. and trying to influence our country's politics and elections. Russia-linked cyberattacks are specifically the issue Americans most want Mr. Biden to address with Putin. 

A majority of Democrats want the president to take a tough stand against Putin, as do most Republicans.  Most Republicans and Democrats alike believe Russia is taking some provocative actions, like engaging in  cyberattacks, trying to influence U.S. elections and politics, and trying to undermine the NATO alliance in Europe. Those who think Russia is taking these kinds of actions are especially likely to describe Russia as unfriendly or an enemy to the U.S. Most also do not think Russia is trying to cooperate with the U.S. on world affairs.
