First in Vermont. Third in the nation. Zippia rankings show Castleton University is an excellent investment when it comes to finding a job after college. pos.li/2g6wf4

This is a reasonable measure of how Americans perceive other nations' opinions of us, but it should not be confused as a measure of how the rest of the world actually perceives the US.

I don't think we should read into these numbers to find whether voters prefer Trump to Biden, or vise versa, but we can see where Biden has lost the most support.

Long drive home from @VermontStateU student press conference in Montpelier, listening to @vermontpublic as I do.
