What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 40%.
- The possibility that America could face another civil war soon is not too far-fetched for a lot of voters.
- Most voters don’t see the current trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City as a deal-breaker in terms of voting for him in November.
- Clinging to a one-vote Republican majority in the House of Representatives, Speaker Mike Johnson’s popularity with voters has actually increased in recent weeks.
- The population of Nevada has more than tripled in the past four decades, and most voters in the state support policies to limit growth and restrict immigration.
- Despite being on trial in New York City, former President Donald Trump has widened his lead over President Joe Biden during the past month.
- The problem of shoplifting and retail theft is a major concern for Americans, and more than a fifth say stores have closed in their community because of the problem.
- The president earned a monthly job approval of 41% in April, down one point from March.
- Thirty percent (30%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
