More Americans Are Now Saying That The U.S. Is The World's No. 1 MIlitary Power

Gallop: Slightly More Americans Say U.S. Is No. 1 Military Power

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As the U.S. military takes on an active role in the fight against the Islamic State group, slightly more Americans, 59%, say the U.S. is the No. 1 military power in the world. This is up six percentage points from February 2014, before the U.S. military became involved in the fight against the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS. Fewer Americans (38%) now say the U.S. is only one of several leading military powers, down from 44% a year ago.

WNU Editor: I would agree with the majority.
