What was the US attitude towards war in Europe before December 7 1941?

Before December 7, 1941, the U.S. attitude towards war in Europe was predominantly isolationist, influenced by a desire to avoid entanglement in foreign conflicts following World War I. While there was sympathy for the Allied nations, particularly Britain, many Americans opposed direct military involvement and preferred to focus on domestic issues. The Lend-Lease Act, passed in March 1941, signaled a shift towards supporting Allies through material aid, but the general public sentiment remained against entering the war until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
