THE PRESIDENT’S ability to bend reality is a political superpower. Before last year’s election, our YouGov polling showed that just 12% of Republican voters thought that Canada was “unfriendly” or an “enemy”. In the most recent survey, which took place between March 22nd and 25th, that share has more than doubled to 27%. Similarly, last year 17% of Republicans viewed the EU as “unfriendly” or as an “enemy”; that has now grown to 29%. America’s allies can choose whether to be alarmed by the trend, or comforted by the fact that even now only 30% of Republicans consider them to be enemies.
