Americans’ Confidence in Military Lowest Since 2018 As Support Grows For NATO, Ukraine: National...

"This year’s telephone and online survey of approximately 2,500 U.S. adults shows Americans’ wanting for the U.S. military to be a beacon for global engagement and pushing peace through strength, including bolstering American superiority on the world stage and taking a lead on international affairs.

The poll also finds agreement across partisan lines on issues like providing more weapons to Ukraine in its years-long war with Russia, or supporting Taiwan and providing military assistance should China invade the East Asian country."

"The survey found that 54% of Americans have a high confidence that the military can keep the country safe, though just 49% believe it can win a war overseas. Another 45% said the U.S. military can deter foreign aggression.

U.S. service branches are viewed in a favorable light by the majority of respondents, finding superiority in air forces (68%), naval forces (58%), space capabilities (56%), and overall military strength (55%)."
