The world in 2024

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

83% : As of this writing, Trump must be viewed as the favourite.
49% : In particular, Putin is waiting to see if Trump wins, in which case he anticipates, with good reason, that US military and economic aid to Ukraine would decline precipitously, if not stop completely.
40% : Whereas Biden has cast this period of history as a contest between democracy and autocracy, and argued that America needs to help democratic friends around the world, Trump gets along far better with autocrats and seems to envy their political control.
38% : If Trump wins, a Democratic-controlled House might be the most significant limit on his power at the federal level, unless the Supreme Court shows itself to be more conservative than ideological.
33% : Of course, Trump provides evidence that this is not always so.
31% : To be sure, there are some similarities between Biden and Trump.
31% : Neither believes in free trade, although Trump, unlike Biden, is an outright protectionist.
29% : Trump is an outsider who is fiercely partisan and rejects political norms (such as accepting electoral defeat), often putting himself before the country's democracy.
26% : The biggest question hovering over Trump is the extent to which his legal problems will translate into political problems.
21% : Trump regards allies more as economic competitors and a drain on America's treasury.
