A poll measuring what Americans think the U.S. role in the world should be.

Gallup's latest World Poll figures show some decline in support for an active U.S. role in the world:

'By a 2-to-1 margin, 66% to 32%, Americans would prefer that the United States be a major rather than a minor player on the world stage in trying to solve international problems. Support for the United States' having a leading or major role in this has diminished over the past two years, falling from 75% in 2009, while the percentage favoring a more isolationist stance has increased from 23%.'
