Poll: U.S. & the United Nations
Sixty-six percent (66%) of U.S. voters said America should continue to participate in the United Nations. Twenty-four percent (24%) think the United States should not stay in the international organization, and 10% are not sure.Democrats are much more bullish on the United Nations than Republicans. While 84% of Democratic voters say America should continue to be in the United Nations, just 48% of Republicans agree. Thirty-eight percent (38%) of GOP voters believe the United States should not participate in the organization, compared to only eight percent (8%) of Democrats.
Among voters not affiliated with either party, 61% favor continued participation in the Untied Nations, while 30% are opposed.
Eighty-eight percent (88%) of liberals and 77% of moderates think America should still participate in the international body, but conservatives are much more closely divided, favoring continued involvement by just six points.
This poll was taken before Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the U.S. a "deadbeat" so perhaps the numbers have shifted a bit.
