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.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/our-methods\/u-s-surveys\/the-american-trends-panel\/\">Read more about the ATP\u2019s methodology.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/04\/pg_2024.04.23_foreign-policy-priorities_topline.pdf\">questions used for this analysis<\/a>, along with responses, and its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2024\/04\/23\/methodology-global-foreign-policy-2024\/\">methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around a third or more of young adults also prioritize:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-640-wide is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/?attachment_id=181841\"><img data-dominant-color=\"cfd8e1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_1.png?resize=480,1065 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_1.png?resize=782,1735 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_1.png?resize=840,1864 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"1420\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_1.png?w=640\" alt=\"A horizontal stacked bar chart showing that a majority of young adults only see 3 of 22 foreign policy goals as top priorities for the U.S.\" class=\"wp-image-181841 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #cfd8e1; width:420px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reducing the spread of infectious diseases (45% say this should be given top priority)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reducing the flow of illegal drugs into our country (39%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promoting and defending human rights in other countries (36%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The April survey specifically asked about Americans\u2019 foreign policy goals. When it comes to the public\u2019s <em>domestic<\/em> priorities, young adults place less emphasis on climate change than on other issues, including strengthening the economy, improving education and reducing health care costs, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2024\/02\/29\/americans-top-policy-priority-for-2024-strengthening-the-economy\/\">a separate Center survey conducted in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"young-adults-views-on-supporting-other-countries\">Young adults\u2019 views on supporting other countries<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our April survey about foreign policy goals, we find that many young adults do <em>not <\/em>prioritize several ways of supporting other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is particularly true when it comes to Israel: 48% of 18- to 29-year-olds say supporting Israel should be given <em>no priority<\/em> \u2013 the highest share of young adults who say this about any foreign policy goal we asked about. Around a quarter (26%) also say finding a solution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians should be given no priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/2024\/03\/21\/views-of-the-u-s-role-in-the-israel-hamas-war\/#america-s-role-in-trying-to-end-the-war\">separate February survey<\/a>, we found that young adults are more than twice as likely to say the U.S. should play <em>no<\/em> role in diplomatically resolving the Israel-Hamas war as they are to say it should play a <em>major<\/em> role (29% vs. 13%). However, another 25% said they weren\u2019t sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to other foreign policy goals, the April survey finds 34% of young adults say that supporting Ukraine should not be a priority, and an identical share say this about promoting democracy in other nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Young adults also do not especially prioritize two technological goals included in the April survey: being a leader in developing artificial intelligence and being a leader in space exploration. For example, just 26% of U.S. adults under 30 say that leading the way on AI should be given top priority. A similar share (28%) says this should be given <em>no<\/em> priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-young-adults-foreign-policy-goals-compare-with-those-of-older-adults\">How do young adults\u2019 foreign policy goals compare with those of older adults?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While dealing with global climate change is a top foreign policy priority for about six-in-ten young adults, it is a lower priority for older adults. Some 38% of adults ages 30 to 49 say it should be a top priority, as do 43% of those 50 to 64 and 39% of those 65 and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, global climate change ranks 11th out of the 22 policy goals among adults 65 and older, based on the share who say it should be a top priority. It ranks 11th among those ages 50 to 64 and eighth among those 30 to 49.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/?attachment_id=181842\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eeeff1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eeeff1;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_2.png?resize=480,530 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_2.png?resize=782,864 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_2.png?resize=960,1061 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_2.png?resize=1200,1326 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_2.png?resize=1280,1414 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"707\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/07\/SR_24.07.19_foreign-policy_2.png?w=640\" alt=\"A table showing that, while the youngest U.S. adults prioritize climate change, older adults prioritize preventing terrorism.\" class=\"wp-image-181842 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Among young adults<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climate change is one of only two policy goals we asked about where the youngest adults prioritize it more than all older age groups. The other is promoting and defending human rights in other countries. On this issue, 36% of adults under 30 \u2013 but no more than a quarter of adults in older age groups \u2013 say it should be a top priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Among adults ages 30 and older<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For adults ages 30 and older, the top priority is protecting the U.S. from terrorist attacks. These adults were alive for, and are likely to remember, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/09\/02\/two-decades-later-the-enduring-legacy-of-9-11\/\">the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001<\/a>, unlike many 18- to 29-year-olds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other top priorities for those ages 30 and older are reducing the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S. and preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Both of these issues are most important to the oldest Americans: 84% of those 65 and older say reducing the flow of illegal drugs should be given top priority, and 76% say the same about WMD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sizable shares of adults ages 30 and older, and especially those 65 and older, also prioritize:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Limiting the power and influence of China<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintaining the United States\u2019 military advantage over all other countries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limiting the power and influence of Russia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About two-thirds or more of adults 65 and older say each of these goals should be given top priority, as do about four-in-ten or more among those ages 30 to 49 and 50 to 64. In contrast, only about a third or fewer of adults under 30 say these should be top priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is consistent with past Center research showing that older Americans are more likely than younger adults to perceive global conflicts \u2013 including those between China and Taiwan and between Russia and Ukraine \u2013 as <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2024\/02\/16\/how-americans-view-the-conflicts-between-russia-and-ukraine-israel-and-hamas-and-china-and-taiwan\/\">important to U.S. national interests<\/a>.
