Americans are increasingly convinced their alliances make the United States more secure. Fifty-eight per cent of Americans believe in the security granted by their partnership with Australia and 65 per cent say the same of Japan, a significant increase from the 44 per cent and 49 per cent reported in December 2021. US public support for every alliance included in the poll saw similar jumps, with 62 per cent now saying their NATO alliance makes the US more secure and marking a definitive uptick from the 44 per cent recording the same sentiment nine months earlier.
