What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Data Driven Diplomacy Act," aims to increase collaboration within the Department of State. It specifically targets the Office of Opinion Research of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research and the Bureau of Global Public Affairs. The legislation directs the Assistant Secretary for Global Public Affairs to request public opinion surveys from the Office of Opinion Research. These surveys are intended to provide information on cultural context and target audiences. Additionally, they would track shifting attitudes toward the United States and its interests in specific regions. These regions are defined as those where United States funded media outlets currently operate or may operate in the future.
