U.S.A. a role model for the world

Sept 11 2005:
Fifty-three percent (53%) of Americans say the world would be a better place if other countries were more like the United States. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 20% disagree.

Those numbers reflect a sharp decline in the number who view the USA as a role model for the rest of the world. While 53% now say the world would be better if more countries were like our own, that figure is down from 61% a year ago and 67% two years ago.

A related survey found that most Americans now believe that the 9/11 terror attacks changed the nation for the worse. Four years ago, in October 2001, most Americans held the opposite view.

Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans view the USA as a good role model along with 41% of Democrats and 45% of those not affiliated with either party.
