In over two decades of polling, Gallup has never found this level of Americans who aren\u2019t interested in policing the globe.
\nThe percentage of Americans who believe the United States has an obligation to police the world is the lowest it\u2019s ever been in over 20 years of asking, a new poll indicates.
\nOnly 65% of US residents now report believing the country should play a \u201cleading\u201d or \u201cmajor\u201d role in \u201ctrying to solve international problems,\u201d a survey conducted by Gallup found. It\u2019s one percentage point below the lowest total recorded by the polling group since it first began asking the question in 2001.
\nThe biggest jump in agnosticism towards American interventionism was recorded among Republicans. Only 61% of GOP-leaning respondents said the US should play a \u201cleading\u201d or \u201cmajor\u201d role in solving the world\u2019s problems \u2014 down from 87% in 2003, the data shows.
\nIt\u2019s a view now endorsed by just 61% of American Independents as well.
\nMeanwhile, 38% of Republicans and 37% of Independents responded that the US should play a \u201cminor\u201d part or have \u201cno role at all\u201d in global affairs, a view endorsed by just 25% of Democrat voters.
\nFrom 2004 to 2005, just 68% of Democrats believed the US should be center stage in global conflicts, according to Gallup. Now that number has reached a full 75%, buoyed by the party\u2019s embrace of the so-called \u2018Responsibility to Protect\u2019 doctrine and years of mainstream media Russiagate messaging which blamed Moscow for the Trump presidency.
\nThough Biden may currently have his base\u2019s blessing to continue poking his nose in international conflicts, the poll contained some disappointing news for the commander-in-chief.
\nOnly \u201cthirty-seven percent of Americans say leaders of other countries respect Biden,\u201d Gallup reported \u2014 nearly a 20-point drop from the 58% he received early in his presidential term.
\nIn addition, the number of Americans who believe the rest of the world views the US favorably remains underwater.
\nRespondents were almost perfectly split on the issue, with 51% believing others see the US positively, and 49% saying they think the country is viewed in a negative light. The answers carried a clear partisan slant, with Gallup noting that \u201ctwo-thirds of Democrats (67%), a slim majority of Independents (51%) and 27% of Republicans believe the US rates favorably in the eyes of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
