A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 51% of voters nationwide believe the United States is the last best hope of mankind. Twenty-six percent (26%) disagree, and 24% are not sure.

Conservatives overwhelmingly believe that the United States is the last best hope. However, by a 43% to 29% margin, liberals disagree.

Just 31% of those in the Political Class see the United States in such positive terms (see more on the Political Class), compared to 58% of Mainstream voters.

Polling released earlier shows that only 45% of Political Class voters believe the United States is a more positive force in the world than the United Nations. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Mainstream voters see America as a more positive force.

Younger voters are more skeptical than their elders about the U.S. role in the world. In fact, by a 51% to 37% margin, voters under 30 reject the notion that the United States is the last best hope of mankind. [Those most recently exposed to our government run 'education' system.]

Sixty-two percent (62%) of senior citizens, on the other hand, regard the country that way.
