Galen Druk: 我主持了本次关于美国民众对特朗普第二任期计划看法的讨论。特朗普就职时民意支持率低,但许多核心政策却意外地获得了民众支持,这引发了我们对美国民众真正期望的思考。 我们讨论了民调在衡量公众对政策的看法时的局限性,以及提问方式对结果的影响。我们还探讨了特朗普政府在移民问题上的策略,以及民众对这一问题的复杂看法。 Elliot Morris: 我认为,美国民众对特朗普的反应可能并非源于政策本身,而是对现状和执政党的反弹。拜登的移民政策比特朗普更偏离美国民众的平均立场,特朗普的政策更符合民意,因此可能不会引发强烈反弹。然而,民众可能因为其他问题而反对特朗普,即使他们在移民问题上认同他的立场。 此外,我分析了民调中关于DEI政策的问题措辞,认为询问人们的态度比询问具体的行动更好,因为它能揭示美国民众的价值观差异。对整个政策提案进行民调具有挑战性,因为这些提案可能篇幅很长,难以理解。 Ruth Agelnik: 我认为,美国民众对多元化、公平与包容(DEI)政策的看法难以捉摸,因为民调结果取决于提问方式,反映的是人们对行动还是态度的看法。目前关于DEI的民调结果差异很大,因为公众的观点尚未完全形成,这与提问方式有关。 此外,特朗普的移民政策前后矛盾,部分政策受欢迎,部分政策不受欢迎,这可能会导致民众的反弹。如果特朗普在某些不受欢迎的政策上让步,可能会提升其在移民问题上的民意支持率。 最后,我分析了民调结果受提问方式影响,需要谨慎解读,但民调在公共政策方面仍然有用。解读民调时,需关注提问方式是否公平公正,避免出现误导性结论。
