Poll finds increasing support for international engagement, Golden Dome spending

WASHINGTON — As defense leaders head to Reagan National Defense Forum to mingle with Trump administration officials, a new poll finds growing bipartisan support for NATO, sending weapons to Ukraine and Golden Dome spending.
“American people continue to favor peace through strength and active U.S. engagement in the world,” a summary of the poll said. “Majorities want the United States to take the lead in international affairs, believe American military superiority is essential, and support a force sized to deter and, if necessary, win conflicts against more than one major adversary at a time.”
Each year the Ronald Reagan Institute releases its defense and national security poll before high-level officials, lawmakers and defense contractors descend on Simi Valley, Calif., for the weekend forum. This time around, pollsters conducted the survey ahead of the release of a new National Defense Strategy and at a time when the Trump administration is withdrawing from the world stage, striking vessels in the Caribbean and deploying the National Guard to cities around the country.
A bipartisan survey of more than 2,500 people showed that participants are mixed on some of those moves. For example, 64 percent of respondents said the US should be more engaged in international events, up 7 percent from this time last year.
