WASHINGTON, March 5. /TASS/. About one-third of Americans believe that Russia is their country’s enemy, while a smaller group think that it is a friendly country, according to a poll conducted by CBS News together with the YouGov data analytics firm.

One of the poll’s questions was: "Do you consider Russia an ally of the United States, friendly but not an ally, unfriendly, or an enemy of the United States?"

In another question, poll respondents were asked to assess the factors that could impact their vote for president. A total of 41% of respondents said that the conflict in Ukraine was "a major factor," with the same percentage of those polled viewing it as "a minor factor," while 18% do not think that it is an important factor in terms of the US presidential election.

As many as 37% of the poll’s participants mentioned the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as "a major factor," with 44% saying that it was "a minor factor," while others do not consider it a factor at all.

Meanwhile, 82% of those surveyed view the domestic economic situation in the US as "a major factor," while another 15% believe it is "a minor factor." The percentage of those who said that the situation on the US-Mexico border was "a major factor" stands at 62%, while 28% said they regarded it as "a minor factor."
