Unfuckingbelievable…..not just the point you were trying to make, but that your source would so badly misrepresent, falsify, the actual question.
NOT the actual question: "Poll Asks Republicans and Democrats: If America Were Invaded, Would You Stay and Fight, or Flee?"
Actual question:
https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3838
8. If you were in the same position as Ukrainians are now, do you think that you would stay and fight or leave the country?
Clearly it's not a question about leaving the U.S. but rather Ukraine.
7. Do you support or oppose accepting Ukrainian refugees into the U.S.? 91% Dems, yes 66% GOP, no.
….while roughly eight in ten Americans (79/14) support a US military response against Russia should the Kremlin attack a NATO ally. That number includes 88 percent of Democrats. (82% of Republicans...go and look at the the poll.)
Very little partisan split on this question in the Q poll.

... If Russian President Vladimir Putin goes beyond Ukraine and attacks a NATO country, would you support or oppose a military response from the United States?
Support 79%
Oppose 14%
(Quinnipiac U. Poll, 3/4-6/22)
And here's the fundamental weakness of your source:
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/townhall/
Funded by / Ownership
Townhall is owned by Salem Media Group, which owns numerous right-leaning Christian-based radio stations across the USA. According to Open Secrets, Salem Media Group donates 100% to Republicans and right-leaning PACS. Online advertising generates revenue for Townhall.
Analysis / Bias
In review, Townhall almost exclusively publishes news articles that favor conservatives and utilizes strongly loaded language such as this: Shove It, House Democrats: Another Trump-Russia Story Blows Up. This story is sourced from the left-leaning Axios and right-leaning Fox News.
In another article with loaded language, by Rush Limbaugh’s brother David: Abortion Extremism Exposing Left’s Moral Contradictions, there is not a single source listed to support Mr. Limbaugh’s claims.
In general, Townhall presents story selection that always favors the right and uses negative wording to describe the left. There is little balance in story presentation, with all information favoring the right without presenting a left perspective or counter-argument.
The opinion columnists associated with Townhall have poor fact check records, such as Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, and Ben Shapiro. Straight news reporting is generally sourced properly and factual, though worded in favor of the right, while guest blog posts have an abysmal track record with fact-checkers.
As for Bagram as a feasible evacuation site?

And while the U.S. could have surged troops to hold Bagram, strategically, it wouldn’t have done much to ease the withdrawal.
Bagram is 40 miles outside of Kabul, on a single highway, neither a feasible evacuation point nor useful to provide protection to an evacuation in Kabul.
“Let me just further add that I did not see any tactical utility to Bagram,” McKenzie.
