The methods of statistical and comparative analysis, deductive analysis, as well as analysis of historical data and the current state of the problem, are used. The paper considers the evolution of the bipartisan consensus of the Republican and Democratic parties of the United States on innovation policy issues. The current study presents an analysis of the system of state regulation of innovation policy in the United States, the specifics of the approaches of the Republican and Democratic parties to the problem of ensuring leadership in the global innovation sphere in the context of intense competition with China.
