Is America safer and more powerful than it was four or five years ago?

[Mordecai]

According to a recent March 23-25, 2014 Fox News poll, a majority of Americans say that America is not as strong and muscular in foreign affairs than it was four or five years ago. Is President Obama to blame, or is it "conservative misinformation"?

It's an opinion poll, so it's basically worthless.

But yes, America is safer and more powerful than five years ago. If you believe the opposite then you are a fool, because you must then seriously believe America was safer and more powerful during the global financial crisis, which is nonsense regardless of which party you support. People forget so quickly.
