A new survey commissioned by the Rockefeller Foundation finds that most Americans continue to support foreign aid a year after USAID’s dismantlement. According to the poll, 54% of respondents across the political spectrum view foreign aid favorably. The survey also shows broad agreement that the future approach should focus on reforming and strengthening existing foreign-aid efforts rather than ending them: 8 in 10 respondents say the path forward is to reform and strengthen foreign aid, not eliminate it. The findings indicate that support extends beyond any single political group, with the survey reporting that 7 in 10 Americans support foreign aid, including substantial support among people who primarily back Trump, described as about half of that group in the PR Newswire summary. The results collectively suggest that even amid the end of USAID, public opinion remains largely supportive of foreign aid, with respondents favoring changes aimed at improving the system rather than dismantling it further. The survey’s language and toplines emphasize continuing support and preference for reform.
