A recent poll shows a significant drop in the number of Democrats who view the U.S. as a force for good in the world.

❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A Napolitan News Service poll indicates that 51 percent of voters now see the U.S. as a force for good, down from 64 percent in 2024, and 24 percent view the U.S. as a force for evil. Notably, a plurality of Democrats, 36 percent, call the U.S. a force for evil, more than the 34 percent who call it a force for good, with 20 percent undecided. 📰 DETAIL: The poll reveals a stark partisan divide: 74 percent of Republicans still see the U.S. as a force for good. The major parties are also split on the United Nations (UN), with 50 percent of voters viewing it as a force for good and 18 percent viewing it as a force for evil. However, positive feelings are much stronger among Democrats than Republicans, with 61 percent of the former viewing the international organization as a force for good compared to only 39 percent of Republicans. Only 15 percent of Democrats view the UN as a force for evil, compared to 21 percent of Republicans. Notably, 33 percent of Republicans view it as neither good nor evil. 🎯 IMPACT: The findings suggest a growing skepticism about America’s role on the global stage, particularly among Democrats, potentially influencing future foreign policy and international relations. The data also highlights the deepening partisan divide in perceptions of international institutions like the UN. 📈 DATA: Despite their overall feelings on the UN, the poll shows that 70 percent of voters believe the U.S. should prioritize U.S. laws and the U.S. Constitution over UN laws, with strong support from both Republicans (86 percent) and Democrats (57 percent). The poll saw 1,000 Registered Voters surveyed online by Scott Rasmussen from April 29-30, with RMG Research conducting the field work. |
