Americans agree about more issues than they realize

preview

Many Americans assume the rest of the country doesn't share their political and policy priorities — but they're often wrong, according to new polling by , first seen by Axios.Why it matters: The polling reveals that despite growing political polarization, Americans share similar long-term goals and priorities for the country. Driving the news: Addressing climate change and preserving clean air and water landed in respondents' top 5 personal priorities for the future of the U.S. — but they believe those issues rank closer to the bottom for "most others."Nine issues showed up in the top 15 priorities for both parties' voters. Biden and Trump voters both expressed a sense of urgency to address five: access to high quality health care; safety in communities and neighborhoods; criminal justice reforms; help for the middle class; and modernized infrastructure.How it works: Populace's polling techniques measure the ideals and opinions Americans personally hold, as well as what they perceive to be popular.The bottom line: "It's an intensity of differences on a small number of things... that is bleeding out into this perception of we just don't agree on anything," Rose said. Methodology: The poll was conducted between January 21 and January 28th — the first week of the Biden administration. 2,010 U.S. citizens responded to the survey.Neera Tanden withdrew her name from nomination to lead the Office of Management and Budget, President Biden announced Tuesday.Why it matters: Tanden’s nomination was already in peril opposition&nbsp;and concern about her qualifications and past combative tweets.The number of women&nbsp;at the helm of America’s biggest companies pales in comparison to men, but is newly growing — and their tasks are huge.What's going on: Jane Fraser took over at Citigroup this week, the first woman to ever lead a major U.S. bank. Rosalind Brewer will take the reins at Walgreens in the coming weeks (March 15) — a company that's been run by white men for more than a century.President Biden on Tuesday said that ramped-up coronavirus vaccine production will provide enough doses for 300 million Americans by the end May. Why it matters: That's two months sooner than Biden's previous promise of enough vaccines for all American adults by the end of July.
