SPEAKER 1
You recently did some polling on attitudes about foreign aid, about USAID in particular, about tariffs. And I think they will surprise many people. Talk to us a little bit about what the public perception is in terms of this desire to cut or even eliminate foreign aid. Is that really such a popular position?

Jen Rubin and Steven Kull discuss the public perception of US spending on foreign aid, reducing the breadth of USAID programming, and tariffs

Dr. Steven Kull is a political psychologist and director of the Program for Public Consultation, School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland. For two decades, he has conducted in-depth studies of public opinion on public policy issues, in the United States and around the world. He directs the international polling project WorldPublicOpinion.org, a collaboration of research centers from around the world.

Who are these enlightened Republicans who think that spending 1% of our budget for USAID is OK? And why aren't they speaking out?

It is refreshing to know Dr Kull’s polls are nuanced and respect the complexity of such critical policies. He shows respect for the electorate in truly garnering perspectives that reflect beliefs and values rather than something to use in an ad or to gain ratings. Thank you for the integrity of your work. Would love to hear more.

Is a shareable graphic of the results of each of these issue available? It would be quickly interpreted and be useful countering Red Representatives and Senators using X to claim they are doing the will of their Republican constituents.

GOp is NOT addressing immigration problems like: people who arrive here on tourist visas and stay and work with relatives doing whatever; people who are here on specious legal visas like those at the warehousing facilities recently reported at ULINE; Indian based IT companies who bring in person A to replace person X on an ongoing contract...or bring them in on a corpor-to-corp visas and put them to work with a specious green card...these undermine US IT taleent a lot...the so-called engineers at MUSK FB and Google...
