In 2004, during George W. Bush\u2019s administration, 63% of Republicans said the U.S. was more important and powerful as a world leader than it had been 10 years earlier, while just 8% said it was less important (27% said the U.S. was about as powerful).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2009, Barack Obama\u2019s first year in office, the balance of opinion among Republicans shifted. Half (50%) said the U.S. was a less powerful and important world leader, compared with just 17% who said it had become more important. Since then, the share of Republicans saying the U.S. is less powerful has increased, reaching 74% in 2013, before slipping to 64% a year later. Currently, 67% say the U.S. is less powerful and important than it was 10 years ago.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats\u2019 views of U.S. global power and importance have shown far less change over the course of the past two administrations. Currently, 29% say the U.S. is more important and powerful than it was a decade ago, 26% say it is less important and 42% say it is about the same. Democratic opinions were similar in 2004 (32% more important, 27% less, 37% about the same).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Independents\u2019 views tend to be similar to the public\u2019s overall. In the current survey, 48% say the U.S. is less important than it was 10 years ago, 20% say it is more important and 31% say it is about the same.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There also are age differences in opinions about U.S. global power. Currently, 52% of those ages 50 and older think the U.S. now plays a less important role, as do 45% of those ages 30 to 49. Just 33% of those younger than 30 say the U.S. plays a less important role than it did in the past.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;views-of-global-respect-for-the-u-s&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"views-of-global-respect-for-the-u-s\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"_Toc450045398\"><\/a><a name=\"_Toc450045289\"><\/a><a name=\"_Toc450044505\"><\/a>Views of global respect for the U.S.<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2016\/05\/05\/8-perceptions-of-u-s-global-power-and-respect\/8_3\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f3f2ee\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f3f2ee;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"324\" height=\"424\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/05\/8_3.png?resize=324,424 324w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" class=\"wp-image-64138 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/05\/8_3.png\" alt=\"Public continues to say the U.S. is less respected globally than it was in the past\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As has been the case since the Bush administration, most Americans (61%) say the United States is less respected by other countries than it was in the past.
