Shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, half of Americans, including equal shares of Rs and Ds, saw the action as a major threat to U.S. interests.

Today, just three-in-ten Americans say this and there is a large partisan divide (42% D vs. 19% R).

Our most recent Global Attitudes report looked at public opinion in Turkey. While most of the survey was on domestic issues, Turkish opinion of foreign powers was featured, and per usual it's pretty negative! For example, 80% have an unfavorable view of the U.S.
