What do American voters think about foreign aid effectiveness?

According to a recent poll commissioned by the Financial Times, nearly 60% of American voters believe that foreign aid funds are being wasted. These voters specifically cite corruption and bloated administration fees as the primary issues, rather than the money actually reaching and helping those in need as intended. This perception reflects growing public concern about the effectiveness and accountability of U.S. foreign assistance programs. The poll highlights a significant trust deficit regarding how taxpayer dollars allocated for international aid are being managed and distributed to intended recipients.
