Fifty-three percent of respondents in the new survey said that they were satisfied with the country's position in the world, an 8-point increase from 2019.

Pollsters noted a partisan split, with 85 percent of Republicans saying they are satisfied — an 11-point increase from 2019. Almost half of independents, 48 percent, and 19 percent of Democrats agreed.
