An overwhelming majority of Americans view foreign policy and national defense as being "somewhat" or "extremely" important to them, according to a new survey from the Ronald Reagan Institute .

The survey also weighed U.S. attitudes about rival nations and revealed which is viewed as posing the "greatest threat" to the country.

The opinion shows a divergence from the position frequently pushed by president-elect Donald Trump , who has championed an " America first " policy.

Ronald Reagan Institute poll finds 85% of Americans are concerned about cooperation and collaboration between Russia , China , Iran and North Korea .

Americans prioritize paying for domestic issues like healthcare, border security and social security above foreign policy-based initiatives, the poll found.

The perception that there's kind of a growing isolationist sentiment in this country really doesn't bear out in the data.
