Should the United States mind its own business?

A survey of the general public conducted Oct. 30-Nov. 6 among 2,003 adults found that more than half of the public thinks the nation does too much to try to solve world problems and should “pay more attention to problems at home.”
For the first time in nearly 40 years since the survey began, a majority – 53 percent - says the United States plays a less important and powerful role as a world leader than it did a decade ago. It was 1974 since more than half of the public had the opinion.

America’s Place in the World -- released by the Pew Research Center -- is a quadrennial survey of foreign policy attitudes conducted in partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a nonpartisan membership organization and think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy.
