Americans view of the U.S. as a global power has reached a historic low, a new poll shows.

For the first time in nearly 40 years, a majority – 53 percent – think the U.S. plays a less important and less powerful role as a world leader than it did a decade ago, according to a Pew Research Center poll, released Wednesday.

This number is up 12 points since 2009 and up 33 points from 20 percent since 2004. Only 17 percent believe the country plays an important role.

Also, for the first time since 1964, more than half agree the U.S. should “mind its own business internationally and let other countries get along the best they can on their own.” This is up six points from 46 percent in May 2011.
