Data for Progress reports on three other questions they asked. One opposed isolationism to engagement, but they don't tell us the words they used. They just describe what sort of question it was. I'm not sure why any pollster, knowing how much depends on the words, would report something that way, especially when the result was a near-even split.
Another was a question about U.S. exceptionalism, which again they don't give us the wording of. We just know that 53% agreed with "a statement recognizing that the US has strengths and weaknesses like any other country and has in fact caused harm in the world" as opposed to an exceptionalist statement. We also know that the 53% dropped to 23% among Republicans.
Finally, Data for Progress found that a plurality in the U.S. said that the United States faces primarily non-military threats. Some things are of course so painfully obvious that it's painful to realize that they really do need to be polled on in hopes of getting them reported on. Now, how many would say that militarism is itself a threat and the primary generator of military threats and of the risk of nuclear apocalypse? And where does nuclear apocalypse rank in the list of threats? There is polling yet to be done.
