For some reason the EU is helping Iran.

Evil regime

Iran isn't much better.

There shouldn't be a partisan narrative. The problem is that the lab claim was made prior to the emergence of evidence. Asking questions is one thing, but you don't get points for guessing sh!t. It's also pretty tacky to be using this pandemic to score political points. I have my share of complaints on how it was handled but I'm generally going to lean on what the current scientific consensus says more than some troll on 8chan or XXX or Trump's own stupid advice he gave during the pandemic to take hydroxychloroquine. Also, Trump could have fired Fauci at any time. He opted not to. But the bottom line is misinformation is a pandemic in itself.

It's a good thing they're suspending the funding.

It IS a partisan narrative, and it will REMAIN a partisan narrative solely because of the degree to which the Democrats sought to censor this talk on social media platforms as "disinformation" and "Xenophobia".  You can't put that genie back in the bottle until the Democrats who did this admit they were wrong to attempt to censor the Free Speech of others, as well as peddling Wet Market Fairy Tales.

The apology should be for attempting to stifle the speech of the American people whose views on COVID-19 they did not agree with. 

The xenophobia claim would hold a lot more weight if anti-Asian racism and hate crimes didn't spike - which they did. People are stupid and incapable of separating people from the governments of their or their ancestors' nation of origin. Or even doing racism "right" because non-Chinese Asians were attacked as well.

Romans 12:20 springs to mind here.

Or just human decency, something lfromnj apparently lacks.

You become effectively whatever you deem evil by such attitude.

It's pretty much clear that most Atlas users would be awful diplomats.

There’s A diplomatic argument but lol at the idea that Raisi deserves anything but pain

Let’s not pretend that our higher education sector serves any purpose beyond, in the main, providing employment and propping up regional economies. Everyone knows that the ‘graduate scheme’ in particular is an indefensible rort on purely scholastic grounds, hence yelping about economic benefits is always the first line of defence deployed by the higher education nabobs (most of whose vastly financially overstretched institutions would not be viable prospects without these students).

Good idea. Hope they post this weekly

You might as well add Australia to NATO at that point. There is a reason why the US maintains multiple important alliances in the Pacific.

Sure, any country who wants to join NATO should be considered, regardless of geography.

How does this compare to prior results?

I believe last was Biden +4

No, you're probably thinking of their early April poll that was Biden+1 with adults, +4 with RV.  Last week's was Trump+2 with adults, Biden+1 with RV.  (This week's is tied in both populations.)

The Trump+2 with adults was ABC/Ipsos, not Reuters/Ipsos.

Maybe you should check before doubling down next time:

I don’t remember there being one last week

Not sure why Biden decided to run again. Literally underperforming downballot by double digits at this moment in several states.

Ego and denial

Eventually but not this year
