What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Trump ended the polling week on Friday with a daily job approval of 51%.
- Less than three months since President Donald Trump took office for his second term, a majority of voters aren’t happy with the result.
- Although many voters don’t like how President Donald Trump is handling trade policy, a majority agree he needs to “reset” international trade.
- Voters overwhelmingly consider it important to keep illegal aliens from voting in American elections, and nearly two-thirds support legislation to require proof of citizenship for voting.
- Democrats in Congress get lower ratings from voters than do their Republican colleagues, and even many Democratic voters don’t care much for their own party’s congressional members.
- Now that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has concluded that the COVID-19 virus came from a Chinese laboratory, nearly half of voters think the pandemic outbreak was not accidental.
- Disney’s live-action remake of “Snow White” has been a bomb at the box office, but most Americans don’t think the film’s outspoken star is mostly to blame.
- Most Americans believe they’re paying more for goods and services because of the costs imposed by lawsuits.
- Forty-three percent (43%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
