** Sharp divisions on vote counts, as Biden gets high marks for his post-election conduct ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
More than two weeks after the presidential election, there are sharp divisions between those who supported Joe Biden and Donald Trump over nearly all aspects of the election and voting process ([link removed]) . The vast majority of Biden voters (94%) say elections in the U.S. were run and administered well, compared with just 21% of Trump voters. The two sides are also far apart on how to address a surge in COVID-19 cases, though majorities in both groups agree more aid is needed.
* Most voters are ‘fearful’ and ‘angry’ about the state of the U.S., but a majority now are ‘hopeful,’ too ([link removed])

** The Trump era has seen a decline in America’s global reputation ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
In international surveys over the past few years, President Donald Trump has generally received lower ratings than either of his two predecessors, with relatively few people approving of his handling of international affairs ([link removed]) . Trump’s unpopularity has had a significant negative effect on America’s overall image. Ratings for the U.S. plummeted after he took office in 2017, and they have declined further over the past year, at least in part due to the widespread perception that the U.S. has handled the coronavirus pandemic poorly.
* U.S. image plummets internationally as most say country has handled coronavirus badly ([link removed])
