An overwhelming majority of Americans consider foreign policy and national defense to be crucial issues, as revealed by a recent survey conducted by the Ronald Reagan Institute. The survey, which gathered responses from approximately 2,500 individuals through telephone and online platforms between Nov. 8-14, highlighted the significance Americans place on U.S. security and foreign policy matters.
The results of the survey indicated a consensus among Americans that the United States should maintain a leadership role on the global stage, supported by a robust military capable of ensuring peace through strength. This sentiment contrasts with the 'America first' policy often advocated by President-elect Donald Trump, with many Americans expressing a desire for continued U.S. engagement in international affairs.
