Like if I were to put it in human strength levels.
Superman would bench the equivalent of 25-30 lbs more than what Thor could.
Like Thor could bench 400
Superman would bench 430 or something.
It's close and they both are top tier strength
Superman's greatest strength feats have come when he's flying. So he's not using muscle when he's performing in mid air, but an extension of touch telekinesis.
While Thor has at least partially lifted the Midgard Serpent - who's mass is equal to that of Earth.
I would mostly give Thor the edge in raw strength, but I generally think of this category as a wash between the two.

Unfair advantage to him over thor but there it is

Considering that two of his best feats (infinity lifting and maggedon) happened with him standing and for another he needed hal to make a construct (moving earth), this tactile-telikinesis non-sense holds no water. Kal IS stronger.

So with that said, you agree Ultraman is stronger than Superman?

Tactile-telekinesis is not 'non-sense'.
It's a great explanation for how he can lift huge shit, without the objects' own weight collapsing in on itself.
