            Voters have long considered Israel an ally of the United States, but one-in-five now think we go too easy on them.
 
                
            So far the facts aren’t there, but Democrats remain convinced that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to win the presidency. Most voters in general, however, say if Special Counsel Robert Mueller can’t prove it, Democrats should let it go.
 
                
            With the Soviet Union fading further and further into the rearview mirror of history, President Trump has voiced his concern about the cost to the United States of participating in NATO, but most voters here still don’t want to let go of the 70-year-old anti-Soviet alliance.
 
                
            Voters don’t think Democrats will ever okay funding for President Trump’s border wall but don’t want another government shutdown to result. The president’s strongest supporters disagree, however, and favor the declaration of a presidential national emergency if necessary to get the job done.
 
                
            Most voters rate border control as a national security concern on the level with North Korea and want to secure the border before dealing with the illegal immigrants who are already here.
 
                
            The economy is booming at historic levels, and America’s coming home from war. But voters say that’s not enough to make a strong country and see a need for more economic and social justice.
 
                
            Most voters agree that government spending and taxes are too high, but they’re divided over the impact that raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans would have.
 
        After years of repeated violations by the Russians, President Trump is pulling the United States out of one of its last major nuclear arms treaties with the former Soviet Union. Voters remain pessimistic about U.S. relations with Russia and worry that another Cold War is on the way.
 
                
            Despite President Trump’s call for unity in this week’s State of the Union address, most voters don’t expect Democrats in Congress to respond and blame partisan politics for the gridlock.
 
                
            New York state has just adopted a law that will allow abortions in the final three months of a pregnancy, but even voters who consider themselves pro-choice aren’t eager to see a similar law in their state.
 
                
            Support by several prominent new Democratic members of the House has raised the profile of the effort to punish Israel economically for its treatment of the Palestinians, but few voters are ready to join in.
 
                
            Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, a centrist Democrat, appears to be contemplating a 2020 presidential run, and he stands a chance against President Trump.
 
                
            Like many of the Democratic presidential wannabes, newly declared candidate Cory Booker has a name recognition problem. So voters aren’t giving him much of a chance at this point of going all the way.
 
                
            Following a record-long government shutdown over an inability to reach an agreement on border wall spending, even more voters want to see Congress lean in to dealing with illegal immigration. However, they’re less confident these days that President Trump and the new Democratic majority in the House can work together to achieve that goal.
 
                
            Despite the post-government shutdown delay, President Trump can still expect a big audience for his State of the Union speech tomorrow night.
 
                
            In a year where the Democratic party swore in the most diverse, most female class in history, most voters see that trend continuing all the way to the White House.
 
                
            President Trump told The New York Times this week that he has given up on negotiating with Congress over funding for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, but voters tend to think he will build the wall anyway.
 
                
            Former Vice President Joe Biden remains the favorite candidate among Democrats to be the party’s 2020 presidential nominee. But as support for California Senator Kamala Harris rises, support for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren is fading.
 
                
            It may not drive their politics, but most voters believe social media plays a role in dividing us.
 
                
            California Senator Kamala Harris has announced her intention to run for president, but voters aren’t paying the California Democrat much heed.
