The presidential debate on foreign policy is tonight. The presidential race is tight, with Ohio and Florida as key battleground states. Polls taken October 3-7 by the the Hill Research Consultants (Florida) and Mellman Group (Ohio) asked voters in Ohio and Florida questions related to foreign policy. (Full poll results are here). Ohio results are in black. Florida results are in red.
As an advocate of more foreign language and study abroad programs, especially related to China, I find the poll results both surprising and supportive. Here are a few.
Both states, by large margins, support studying geography in schools.
Both states, again by large margins, think it is important for "children to conduct exchanges with other countries." Perhaps my proposal for paid high school study abroad programs would receive similar public support in polls.
In both states, Chinese follows Spanish as the most important language to learn.
Both states, again by substantial margins, support "increased federal and state spending for teaching geography, foreign languages and cultures."
