What Went Down During President Trump’s Closing Speech At The RNC

Trump mentions “criminal aliens” and brings up the wall, then nods to border agents in the crowd. According to Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape polls 68 percent of Republicans support the wall, but just 14 percent of Democrats and 29 percent of independents agree.

I was also surprised to see how high Supreme Court appointments rank in that poll, Sarah. Even though it’s been a bigger Republican priority in the past, Biden and Trump supporters are about equally likely to rank these appointments highly. But the political divides on other issues — like health care, the coronavirus outbreak, racial inequality and even violent crime — are pretty stark.

When Trump took the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement, about 6 out of 10 Americans opposed the move. In July 2019, 53 percent of Americans said they wanted to rejoin while only 31 percent opposed rejoining.
