thegatewaypundit.comA centrist Democratic think tank reported that Democrats trail Republicans on foreign policy issues according to a new survey of registered voters. The group partnered with Impact Research to conduct the poll and focus groups. Findings showed voters view Democrats as weak on defense and lacking an advantage over Republicans on foreign policy.
Republicans hold slim advantages on handling of U.S.-China relations, U.S.-Israel relations, and national security. The same poll found the U.S. war in Iran deeply unpopular, with 53 percent of respondents saying it makes the United States less safe.
The think tank recommended Democrats articulate a foreign policy focused on stabilizing alliances and trade relationships. A representative for the group stated that Democrats should not assume voter unhappiness with current policies will automatically translate into support for their party.
