Do Americans Think the Country Is Losing or Gaining Ground in Science? Republicans and Democrats agree that it’s important the U.S. is a world leader in science, but sharply diverge on how the U.S. is faring.

84% of Americans say government investments in scientific research aimed at advancing knowledge are worthwhile.

Yet a large and increasing share of Americans from both parties say we are losing ground.
