That level of trust -- 52% -- roughly tracks the president's overall approval rating, which averages 53%, according to FiveThirtyEight's tracker, and is about equal to the level of trust Americans have in Biden to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin specifically.

Still, 3 in 10 Americans, including 70% of Republicans, say they do not trust Biden at all to negotiate with his foreign counterparts, and about 2 in 10 (18%) Americans say they trust the president just some.

Although this most recent ABC News/Ipsos poll found about a quarter (24%) of Americans had no confidence at all in Biden to do the right thing regarding world affairs, for Trump, that figure was closer to 4 in 10 (38%), according to a spring 2017 Pew Research poll.

About a third (34%) of Americans, according to this new poll, say they have no trust at all in Biden's ability to negotiate on the United States' behalf with Putin, but nearly half (48%) of Americans said they had no trust in Trump to do the same, according to the July 2017 ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Asked about a broad array of long-range foreign policy goals, for which all results can be found here, an overwhelming majority (92%) of Americans say at least some priority should be given to limiting the power and influence of Russia.

Nearly 7 in 10 (68%) Americans, including 76% of Republicans and 67% of Democrats, say taking measures to protect the country from terrorism should be a top foreign policy priority; about a quarter (26%) say this should be given some priority.

And as Biden and the rest of the G-7 leaders pledge to donate 1 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses to low income nations in need, including 500 million from the United States alone, nearly 6 in 10 (58%) Americans say that reducing the spread of infectious diseases should be given top priority among long-term foreign policy goals, with another 37% of Americans saying it should be given some priority.
