In Troubled Times, Who Do Voters Count as Allies?

  • Clear majorities of voters say Australia (68%), Canada (69%), and Spain (58%) are allies of the United States.
    • Close to a quarter of voters (19% to 24%) said each of these countries is neither an enemy nor an ally.
    • Only 3% to 5% say these countries are enemies.
    • A plurality (40%) say that Brazil is an ally, 8% say an enemy, but 33% say it’s neither an ally nor enemy.
    • Only 37% see India as an ally.
    • Similarly, just 35% see South Africa as an ally.
    • Regarding all of these countries, Republicans and Democrats are aligned.
  • Looking at these countries from another angle, majorities also say Australia (73%), Canada (71%), and Spain (61%) are forces for good in the world.
    • Smaller percentages take a more neutral approach and say Australia (20%), Canada (19%), and Spain (25%) are neither forces for good nor evil.
    • Pluralities of voters say that Brazil (42%), India (39%), and South Africa (38%) are forces for good.
    • About one third said Brazil, India, and South Africa are neither a force for good nor evil.
    • A small percentage (less than 12%) said these countries are a force for evil.
    • Again, the parties have similar views.
