For this analysis, we surveyed 3,600 U.S. adults from April 1 to April 7, 2024. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.

At the beginning of the war, Republican attitudes were essentially the reverse: 49% said the U.S. was not providing enough aid and 9% said it was providing too much. Among Republicans, conservatives are more likely than moderates and liberals to say the U.S. is providing too much aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to shifting views about NATO and Ukraine over the past few years, Americans have increasingly come to believe that U.S. power is declining on the global stage: 54% say the country\u2019s influence has been getting weaker recently, up from 47% two years ago. The shares saying the same about the United Kingdom, France and Germany \u2013 key U.S. allies in Europe \u2013 have also increased since 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/?attachment_id=165871\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d3d7cf\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d3d7cf;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" height=\"552\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?w=420\" alt=\"A bar chart showing that Many say China, Russia and Iran are gaining influence, but most see U.S. as losing influence\" class=\"wp-image-165871 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png 840w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=228,300 228w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=768,1009 768w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=779,1024 779w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=308,405 308w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=200,263 200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=260,342 260w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=310,407 310w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=420,552 420w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=640,841 640w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=740,973 740w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=160,210 160w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/pg_2024.05.08_russia-nato_0_03.png?resize=320,421 320w\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, about four-in-ten or more see China, Russia and Iran \u2013 nations often considered adversaries of the U.S. \u2013 as increasingly influential, including a 71% majority who say this of China.
