Battleground state voters are growing hesitant on sending additional aid to Ukraine and are more focused on border security in the U.S. as border crossings and illegal immigrant apprehensions have hit record highs under the Biden administration, according to a poll obtained first by the Daily Caller.

The poll was conducted by The Heritage Foundation between April 2-4 and asked a group of 1,000 voters about what they believe is more important, sending more aid to Ukraine or protecting the southern border. Specifically, the voters were asked how close they are to paying attention to both topics, if protecting the border is more important than providing funds to Ukraine and what the best approach would be in handling both situations.

According to the polling, 10% of the voters are “very closely” following news about the war in Ukraine, 41% are “somewhat closely” following it, and 36% are “not very closely” following it. Thirteen percent are “not at all closely” following it and 1% were “not sure.”

As for the southern border, 22% of voters said they are “very closely” following news about the situation at the southern border. 42% said they are “somewhat closely” following it. 24% say they are “not very closely” monitoring it and 11% say they are “not at all closely” following what is happening at the border.

Voters were then asked if it is more important to secure the border or to provide funding to Ukraine, to which 50% said securing the southern border was more important. 11% it is more important to provide funding to Ukraine and 29% said it is equally as important to secure the border as it is to provide funding to Ukraine.

“Everyday Americans are fed up with rubberstamping the Swamp’s endless Ukraine funding. Heritage’s latest polling reveals that not only are moderate voters in battleground states more interested in securing our own borders, they believe we have already spent enough helping Ukraine—and rightfully so,” Dr. Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation told the Caller.

“The United States has already sent more than $113 billion in aid to Ukraine with no debate, no clear strategy, no spending offsets, and no real accountability. Alarmingly, two separate Pentagon audits reveal that large tranches of this funding are mostly unaccounted for. That’s unacceptable,” Roberts added. “Not a single U.S. taxpayer dollar should be going to Ukraine until our own borders are secure, Biden proposes a coherent strategy for ending the conflict, and full accountability for past and future funding secured. The American people know they deserve better and expect policies—and leaders—that put their country first. Congress would be wise to listen to them.” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: JD Vance Introduces Bill To Condition US Aid To Ukraine)

The poll surveyed 1,000 Swing Voters in battleground states from April 2-4. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1%.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
