  • TRIP Snap Poll XII January 2020 Introduction
    TRIP Snap Poll XII January 2020 Teaching, Research & International Policy (TRIP) Project Global Research Institute (GRI) https://trip.wm.edu/home Principal Investigators: Susan Peterson, William & Mary Ryan Powers, University of Georgia Michael J. Tierney, William & Mary Data Contacts: Eric Parajon or Emily Jackson Phone: (757) 221-1466 Email: i [email protected] Methodology: We attempted to contact all international relations (IR) scholars in the U.S. We define IR scholars as individuals who are employed at a college or university in a political science department or professional school and who teach or conduct research on issues that cross international borders. Of the 4,752 scholars across the U.S. that we contacted, 971 responded. The resulting response rate is approximately 20.43 percent. The poll was open 10/30/2019-12/14/2019. Our sample is roughly similar to the broader International Relations scholar population in terms of gender, academic rank and university type. Our sample includes a higher percentage of men and a higher percentage of tenured and tenure track faculty than the overall scholar population. Introduction By Emily Jackson, Eric Parajon, Susan Peterson, Ryan Powers, and Michael J. Tierney We are pleased to share the results of the 12th Teaching, Research and International Policy (TRIP) Snap Poll, fielded with the support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Our polls provide real-time data in the wake of significant policy proposals, during international crises, and on emerging foreign policy debates. In this poll, we asked questions on the 2020 Presidential Election, President Trump’s foreign policy actions, and impeachment.

  • Tulsi Gabbard Was Born in Leloaloa, American Samoa in 1981, the Fourth of Five Children
    Tulsi Gabbard was born in Leloaloa, American Samoa in 1981, the fourth of five children. At the age of two, Tulsi and her family settled in Hawai'i where as a teenager, she co-founded the Healthy Hawai'i Coalition, a non-profit teaching children to take care of themselves and the environment. An advocate for environmental policy, Tulsi ran for the Hawai'i State Legislature in 2002 and became the youngest person ever elected. A year later, Tulsi joined the Hawai'i National Guard to serve Hawaii’s citizens and our country. In 2004, Tulsi voluntarily deployed to Iraq with her fellow Soldiers of the 29th Brigade eventually serving two tours of combat duty in the Middle East. Tulsi was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal during Operation Iraqi Freedom, was the first female Distinguished Honor Graduate at Fort McClellan's Officer Candidate School, and was the first woman to ever receive an award of appreciation from the Kuwaiti military on her second overseas tour. Tulsi continues to serve as a Captain in the Hawai'i National Guard's 29th Brigade Combat Team. In between her two tours, Tulsi worked in the U.S. Senate as a legislative aide to Senator Daniel Akaka, where she advised the senator on energy independence, homeland security, the environment, and veterans’ affairs. In 2010, Tulsi ran for the Honolulu City Council and served as Chair of the Safety, Economic Development, and Government Affairs committee and Vice Chair of the Budget committee. Representing Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District, Tulsi is one of the first two female combat veterans and the first Hindu to ever serve as a member of the U.S.

  • Hawaii 2Nd Congressional District Poll
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 1, 2019 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Gabbard Constituents Want Her to Drop Out; Prefer Someone Else for Congress Next Year Raleigh, N.C. – A new PPP survey of Democratic primary voters in Tulsi Gabbard's Congressional district, Hawaii's 2nd, finds that her constituents think she should drop out of the race and that she's likely to have trouble winning nomination for another term in the House next year. 60% of primary voters think Gabbard should drop out, compared to only 28% who think she should continue moving forward with her campaign. Gabbard is tied for third in the Democratic contest in her district. Elizabeth Warren leads the way with 25% to 22% for Joe Biden. Gabbard is tied with Bernie Sanders at 13%, with all of the rest of the candidates in single digits- Pete Buttigieg and Andrew Yang each get 5%, Kamala Harris is at 3%, and Cory Booker and Beto O'Rourke each come in at 1%. 11% say that they are undecided or that they would prefer one of the other candidates. Hawaii has open primaries and given the hopelessness for Republicans of electing their own candidates to most posts in the state, a lot of conservative leaning voters participate in the Democratic primary because it's their best chance to influence who their elected officials will be. Trump voters are one segment of the Democratic primary electorate that Gabbard is leading- she gets 26% with them to 15% for Joe Biden with nobody else in double digits.

  • Indivisible Debate Watch Guide Winning with Our Values We Can Win in 2020
    INDIVISIBLE DEBATE WATCH GUIDE WINNING WITH OUR VALUES WE CAN WIN IN 2020 Before we dive into the details of the crowded 2020 field, and what issues we think are most important to keep in mind as we evaluate that field, we wanted to be explicit: we can win in 2020. The 2016 election cycle was difficult and damaging in many ways, but one of the most lasting challenges is that it left so many of us scared. In 2018, we elected the most diverse Congress in our country’s history, made up of members who’ve sponsored bills like the Green New Deal and the sweeping democracy reforms in HR 1. But, as we look ahead to 2020, so many of us are still hung up on “electability.” Too often, we’re being guided by our fears, not our hopes, about the future of our country. As we head into 2020, we have a historically strong and diverse Democratic field. We have candidates who are unafraid to take bold positions on unrigging our democracy, creating a people-first immigration policy, and leaning into ambitious plans to address climate change. And we have candidates from a wide range of backgrounds: current US Senators, mayors of large and small cities, and two former members of the Obama administration. For the first time in our country’s history, we have a field that includes Latino, Black, white and AAPI candidates; gay and straight candidates; and working class candidates who are rejecting corporate PAC money. We know the stakes are high. But we think concerns about “electability” are a self-fulfilling prophecy.

  • Saint Anselm College Survey Center April 2019 Poll Announced/Potential Democratic Presidential Candidate Name Recognition and Ballot Test Results
    SAINT ANSELM COLLEGE SURVEY CENTER APRIL 2019 POLL ANNOUNCED/POTENTIAL DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE NAME RECOGNITION AND BALLOT TEST RESULTS These results are from the Saint Anselm College Survey Center poll based on interviews with 698 randomly- selected registered voters in the state of New Hampshire. Interviews were conducted by landline and cellular phone between April 3 rd and April 8 th , 2019. The overall survey has a margin of sampling error of 3.7% with a confidence interval of 95%; the margin of sampling error for questions specific to the 1 st and 2 nd Congressional Districts is 5.3% and 5.1% respectively; the margin of sampling error for questions specific to the Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries are 5.4% and 6.0% respectively. Data are weighted based on a voter demographic model derived from historical voting patterns, but are not weighted by party registration or party identification. 326 respondents that indicated their intention to vote in the Democratic Presidential Primary were asked for their impression of 14 announced and potential candidates for the Democratic nomination for President. The names were presented in random order. Respondents were then asked to select a candidate for whom they would vote. “Now I’m now going to read a list of people that have announced that they are running for the Democratic Presidential nomination, or have indicated that they are strongly considering it. After each name, I would like you to tell me if you have a favorable impression, unfavorable impression, or no opinion of that person. If you have never heard of them, please let me know.” “If the presidential primary election were held today, which candidate would you vote for?” New Hampshire Institute of Politics Executive Director Neil Levesque summarized the results, saying, “Joe Biden continues to show strength in New Hampshire, as 23% of Democratic Primary voters surveyed indicated that if the NH Primary were held today, they would vote for Biden, followed by 16% for Bernie Sanders, 11% for Pete Buttigieg and 9% for Elizabeth Warren.
