While a majority of Americans feel their country is respected around the world, 52% say its global influence has been getting weaker in recent yearsalmost three-quarters think China’s influence is on the rise (73%), while almost half say the same about Russia (47%). And more people say that the international influence of Israel, India and Iran are growing than that U.S. influence is getting stronger. The belief that U.S. influence in the world is getting weaker was also the most common view in April 2024. But Americans are somewhat more likely now to say their country’s influence is growing (22% vs. 14% last year). https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/05/01/the-united-states-standing-in-the-world/ Beloud
