What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending March 20, 2021
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 52%.
- President Biden is reportedly planning to introduce a major tax increase, but most Americans say taxes are already high enough.
- Voters are evenly divided about President Joe Biden’s ability to perform the duties of his office, and nearly half believe others are really in charge at the White House.
- A majority of voters are concerned about the current flow of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, and oppose plans reportedly being considered by Congress this week to offer amnesty to undocumented immigrants.
- Most Americans don’t believe Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle’s accusations of racism against the British royal family, but then again, most Americans don’t really pay much attention to the royals.
- As the U.S. Senate considers legislation that would revamp America’s election laws, voters still overwhelmingly support laws requiring that voters show identification before casting a ballot.
- At a time when President Biden is reported to be planning a major tax increase, a majority of Americans say they’re already paying more than their fair share of taxes.
- Americans don’t consider St. Patrick’s Day one of the nation’s most important holidays, but nearly half say they’ll wear green Wednesday to mark the traditional Irish holiday.
- More than six weeks since his inauguration, President Biden still hasn’t held his first White House press conference, and half of voters are worried about his ability to do the job.
- Forty-one percent (41%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
