How the American electorate feels about foreign policy🌎insights from our Jan. Verified Voter Omnibus (THREAD):
1. Dems highly favor int'l cooperation, but their views split on use of military force. Republicans who back military force are also in favor of int'l cooperation.
2. Voters agree on having a high-tech military that uses drones to target terrorists, but disagree when it comes to increasing the size of the military and backing regime change in foreign countries.
3. Voters want America to continue backing its allies and tackling global issues such as the environment, but are less certain about providing foreign aid and support to democratic movements around the globe.
