What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending November 13, 2021

In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:

- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 42. 

- Most Americans don’t think public schools should require students to get COVID-19 vaccinations, and have concerns about whether the vaccines are safe for children.

- As Congress keeps adding to the federal debt with multi-trillion-dollar spending bills, voters continue to prefer a balanced budget, but don’t have much hope it will happen any time soon.

- The sagging popularity of President Joe Biden has political consequences, as more than half of voters say they would vote against Biden-endorsed candidates in their state.

- Two-thirds of voters don’t believe undocumented immigrants have a right to sue the U.S. government, and as for settlement payments to families separated at the border, most think the proper amount is zero.

- As the supply-chain crisis continues, an overwhelming majority of voters are worried about potential shortages of basic supplies, and most think President Joe Biden’s administration is not doing enough about the problem.

- Economic confidence rose to 96.9 in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, less than one point higher than October, which was the lowest index level since May 2020.

- As the homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse continues in Kenosha, Wisconsin, this week, voters are largely divided along party lines about whether the teenage gunman should be convicted.

- Many parents are concerned about the books provided to children in schools and libraries, especially those promoting “woke” progressive beliefs about sexuality and racial issues.

- Thirty percent (30%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
