Whether it’s the Russia-Ukraine war, or the Israeli-Hamas war, NATO remains a big part of U.S. decision-making. Indeed, the U.S.-led postwar alliance has lasted 75 years, and it’s fair to say that nearly everything the U.S. does overseas involves NATO, directly or indirectly. But increasingly, average Americans are uneasy about the alliance, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
A significant number of Americans, though not yet a majority, feel the burdens of the U.S.’ NATO leadership as unfairly distributed, according to the online I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,378 adults taken from Sept. 27-29
The first question was elemental: “Does the U.S. participation in NATO increase or decrease the likelihood of U.S. getting involved in a military conflict?”
A surprising plurality of 38% answered “increase,” while 15% responded “decrease” and 19% said “no impact.” Another 28% said “not sure,” making it the second-largest answer. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points.
This was the rare question in which political affiliation didn’t make too much of a difference. While 34% of Democrats said NATO raises the chance of war, that response wasn’t too far below the Republicans (44%) or independents (38%).

The question should be: what is in it for the United States?
No Nations have “Friends” only interests. Time for NATO to be replaced with a new organization. How about the “Anglo Sphere” Alliance of all English speaking nations?
“36% Believe the NATO benefits more than the US”
LOL
what a clumsy Russian propaganda attempt
you clowns can’t even get basic English grammar correct!!
US OUT OF NATO TODAY!
Once of the great benefits of having the US leave NATO is not having to pay attention to the incessant nattering of overbearing Eurotwats like yourself.
I’ve been saying we should pull back and bring the troops home since the early 1990s.
