Not in strength and speed but he has Clark beat in skill and overall damage output. He also has Clark beat in tactics and experience.
Thor wins.
He's far more skilled, with superior damage soak than Superman and greater striking power/overall power. Superman is stronger, faster and more invulnerable but Thor has his own advantages that will let him whoop Steppenwolf's ass.
Taking on scrubs Aquaman and Wonder Woman is nothing like taking on Thor. Especially when he's not hampered by fellow Avengers.

Then you need to watch the movies again because Thor clearly has far better striking feats.
Well, I think perhaps you should watch the scenes again so you can get the context behind those striking feats. I know people would love to believe it's all Thor's striking power, but deep down we all know it's not. That said, Thor is no slouch. He beats Steppenwolf here. Everyone reasonable knows that. As for Superman comparisons, come on now, we all know that Supes is on a different level currently. Thor is not beating him.
IMO Supes > Thor > Steppenwolf >= WW

If it's not Thor's striking power, what is it?

Would you agree though that Thor has better damage output and fighting skill than Superman?

I would agree that he as better skill. That is undeniable. I would also agree that the overall damage that was done by him in his big striking feats is greater than the damage done by Superman. HOWEVER, it was not all Thor. The feat in Age of Ultron has already been talked about by Adam Grimes. I agree with him. It was clearly not just Thor's strike. His feat in Avengers of hitting Cap's shield is also a bit suspect. The force was clearly amplified by Cap's shield. Those are his biggest striking feats yes? They both have extenuating circumstances. Because of these circumstances I feel it is a big stretch to give him the nod in the striking power.

Even if you only gave Thor credit for 10% of those strikes, they'd still be better than anything Superman has.

Last time I checked, Cap's shield is not an amplifier. It was able to redirect the shock from the hammer into a shockwave but the initial force is all from Thor. I mean, Cap's shield doesn't have energy of its own, how do you explain it being able to amplify Thor's attack.

Like abhi and Adam, he'll probably mention the dialogue from AOU about making Thor's energy double back in order to cause the explosion.
They obviously don't know that doubling back is a specific term meaning to send something back in the direction it came from. They just saw the word double and went OMG, it amped Thor's power.
Basically, they misunderstood what was actually being said
