Favorable views of the US and our president have fallen to record lows in many countries. Respondents in Pew survey were more likely to say they expect Putin & Xi to "do the right thing regarding world affairs" than they'd expect this of Trump pewresearch.org/global/2020/09… Image
Majorities have an unfavorable opinion of the U.S. in nearly every country surveyed (thanks for your continued faith in us, South Korea!) Image
Overwhelming majorities rate America’s response to coronavirus outbreak as bad Image

The kind of polling we need more of: @YouGov asked respondents about major policies proposed by Biden and Trump...without specifying which candidate proposed them.
Turns out, in a blind test, Biden's agenda is way more popular. A short 🧵

27 of 28 Biden proposals are supported by more people than oppose them. 24 get outright majority support.
Most popular: criminal/mental health background checks for all gun purchases (82% approve). Least popular (the only one underwater, 30%): 10-yr military support for Ukraine Image
Trump's agenda doesn't fare so well.
9 of 28 proposals are above water (more support than oppose). Just 6 get majority support
Even most most popular (phase out Chinese imports of essential goods) gets meager 59%. Least pop (prez controls independent regulatory agencies): 19% Image

Pay more attention to what politicians *do* than to what they say
There's been credulous media coverage of Trump's "proposal" to give green cards to immigrant US college grads. It's odds with everything Trump actually did as president, to reduce *legal, skilled* immigration
examples of actual policies he put in place, curbing visas, work permits, or green cards for skilled immigrants: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
Image
He also endorsed a bill that would have cut *legal immigration in half.*

Yes. Problem is most Americans don't understand how difficult it actually is to come here legally.
<1% of people who want to move permanently to the US can do so legally
Confusion is understandable. Our system is convoluted; demagogues take advantage🧵1/x

Biden has proposed, and in some cases already opened, new legal, orderly pathways to come here—designed to take pressure off the border, among other objectives ("law & order")
Most Americans, including most **Republican voters,** support such efforts 2/x washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
Image
However, the GOP is trying to block those new legal pathways & kill ones we already have.
E.g. Trump would dismantle longstanding program for seasonal agricultural workers to come to US on visas. What's that likely to do to illegal border crossings? 3/x washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
