New polling shows most Australians want to stick with the US alliance, despite holding overwhelmingly negative views towards the Trump administration and harbouring deep worries about the erosion of American democracy.

USSC Director of Research Jared Mondschein was quoted by ABC on the polling findings, saying "The Australian people are by no means fans of Donald Trump, but I think that at the same time Australians can see the strategic importance of the alliance, and that there aren't really many alternatives to the alliance."
