Yes. Foreign aid is used very often as a diplomatic tool to influence other nations. Its very important for international engagement.

Give a man a few billion dollars and he will do anything. A dictator is still a man, yet he commands an army. Anyone who is for empire will fight to the death to save foreign aid.

If they would only word it differently.
'Do you agree with the U.S. government bribing foreign countries to do it's bidding?'

I am actually impressed that 40 percent get it , I would have guessed less.
