Only 35% of Americans say the United States has more global power and influence than China does. I am with the 19% who say the United States is more powerful than China — but that’s the least popular of the three options polled in the new @CarnegieEndow / @YouGov survey.

This is a genuinely incredible shift in US opinion: almost half of Americans (47%) now believe that China is already more powerful than the US or will be in the next 5 years. Even more unexpectedly, they're largely fine with it: 62% of Americans believe their lives would not get
