84% of Americans say government investments in scientific research aimed at advancing knowledge are worthwhile.
Yet a large and increasing share of Americans from both parties say we are losing ground.
So, let's elect reps who support science!

Do Americans Think the Country Is Losing or Gaining Ground in Science?
Republicans and Democrats agree that it’s important the U.S. is a world leader in science, but sharply diverge on how the U.S. is faring.
