More Americans see bipartisan common ground on foreign policy than on abortion, other issues

Most Americans view the Republican and Democratic parties as very different from each other. Yet the public does perceive some common ground between partisans in Washington on foreign policy, even as it sees much less bipartisan agreement on issues including abortion, gun policy and immigration.

A slim majority of Americans say there is a lot (10%) or some (44%) common ground between the foreign policy positions of Republicans and Democrats in Washington, while 34% say there is not too much.
