Voters in some of the most important swing states trust Donald Trump more than Kamala Harris on foreign policy, according to a new Cato Institute poll.
This is especially important as wars in Ukraine and the Middle East continue to keep the world on edge.
Most Americans are tired of being involved in foreign conflicts and remember the peace during Trump's first term.

Poll: Voters Trust Donald Trump More Than Kamala Harris On Foreign Policy
Voters trust former President Donald Trump more than Vice President Kamala Harris when it comes to foreign policy, according to a poll released Monday.
The Cato Institute commissioned YouGov to conduct a survey of 1,500 Americans in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, three key swing states.
Specifically, the poll found that voters trust Trump more than Harris on foreign policy issues — by four percentage points in each state.
Cato wrote:
They believe Trump is likely to keep Americans out of foreign wars and conflicts (Wisconsin: 52%, Pennsylvania: 51%, Michigan: 52%), help end the war in Ukraine (Wisconsin: 51%, Pennsylvania: 50%, Michigan: 54%), and make foreign policy decisions based primarily on American interests (Wisconsin: 51%, Pennsylvania: 54%, Michigan: 56%).
The poll also showed a close race between Trump and Harris in three states. Trump beats Harris in Michigan 48 percent to 47 percent, they win 47 percent in Pennsylvania, and Harris beats Trump 51 percent to 46 percent in Wisconsin.
More from Cato:
Eight in 10 swing state voters say the manner in which Hamas carried out its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, was unacceptable. However, voters are divided on how Israel carried out its response. Eight in 10 swing state voters support an immediate cease-fire in Gaza.
Seven in ten believe that the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza is important to national security, and a majority believe that the war could lead to a wider war in the Middle East (WI: 73%, PA: 77%, MI: 73%). If a wider war did break out, these voters would support sending military aid and equipment to Israel (WI: 51%, PA: 50%, MI: 44%), but not entering the war itself (WI: 53%, PA: 49%, MI: 48% opposed).
The Biden administration has a terrible record on foreign policy. As a direct participant, Kamala Harris owns the mess.
