"The State of American Opinion: The 2026 Survey" w/ Chicago Council
About the event
With the 2026 midterms fast approaching, foreign policy is once again part of the national debate, but how much will it shape voters’ choices this fall? For more than five decades, the Chicago Council Survey has tracked Americans’ views on alliances, trade, immigration, and the use of military force. As voters head to the polls in November, what does the data reveal about how Americans want their country to engage with the world? And where does that vision align, or clash, with what Washington is doing? Join us for the release of this year’s Chicago Council survey and a conversation with Dina Smeltz on what public opinion means in this critical election year.
Speaker Dina Smeltz John Lapinski
This event is hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. We from The Geopolitical Forum can hang out and continue the conversation perhaps over a drink or bite after the event wraps up.
