US
A new survey from Gallup has found that whilst China and Russia are still named by most US voters as the US’ “greatest enemy,” “references to Iran have grown by seven points.”
- Iran’s rise on the list reflects months of news coverage of Israel’s war with Hamas which has renewed focus on Iran’s role in financing a network of militant groups in the Middle East, including the Houthis in Yemen who have engaged in regular attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
- Gallup notes: “China No. 1 Enemy for Republicans and Independents, Russia for Democrats. China is among the top two countries cited as the United States’ greatest enemy by all three partisan groups. It ranks first among Republicans (67%) and independents (40%) but is a distant second to Russia among Democrats (18%). Russia ranks second among independents and nearly ties for second with Iran among Republicans. Independents (11%) are far more likely than Republicans (1%) or Democrats (2%) to name the United States itself, putting the U.S. third on their list.”
- The report also suggests that, along with softer support for Ukraine, US voters now consider the risk from Russia markedly lower than during 2023 - a voter perception which may impact Congress' ability to legislate new aid for Ukraine.
