Conducted May 21 and 24-25, 2026

By Rasmussen Reports

 

1* Is the U.S. military strong enough to meet America’s foreign enemies?

 

 

2* Do our political leaders send American soldiers into harm’s way too often, not often enough, or is the balance about right?

 

 

3* Has the combat readiness of the U.S. military gotten better or worse under President Donald Trump? Or has the combat readiness of the U.S. military stayed about the same?
