- Frame 1Pew's 2026 survey turns U.S. foreign policy into a public pressure gauge: 53% say America ignores other countries.
- Frame 2The same question since 2002 creates the threshold: 53% is the first majority saying other interests are ignored.
- Frame 3The data path moves through party ID: overall concern rose from 27% in 2023 to 53% in 2026.
- Frame 4The partisan gate splits the chart: 75% of Democrats say ignored; most Republicans say interests are considered.
- Frame 5A benchmark chart shows the risk: overall confidence fell from 69% to 57%; Democrats dropped from 72% to 35%.
