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 43%.
- Political advertisements saturated TV for weeks before the presidential election, but didn’t have much impact for most voters.- Despite a widespread belief that the news media are biased in favor of Democrats, many voters give the media good marks for their campaign coverage.
- The final frantic weeks of campaigning didn’t have an impact on most voters, who had made their choice for president before October ever arrived.
- As Election Day arrives, Republicans have a three-point lead in their battle to maintain their narrow House majority.
- Election Day is Tuesday, but most voters worry that the outcome will not be known immediately because of delays in reporting results.
- Thirty-four percent (34%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction. Visit the Rasmussen Reports home page for the latest current polling coverage of events in the news. The page is updated several times each day.
