What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending October 31, 2020
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Trump ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 51%.
- Democrat Joe Biden has taken a three-point lead over President Trump in Rasmussen Reports’ daily White House Watch survey.
- President Trump has edged to a two-point lead over Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state of North Carolina.
- Democratic challenger Cal Cunningham has moved into a three-point lead over incumbent Republican Thom Tillis in North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race.
- President Trump has moved to a three-point lead over Democrat Joe Biden in Arizona just days before Election Day.
- Democratic challenger Mark Kelly has grown his lead over incumbent Republican Martha McSally in Arizona’s U.S. Senate special election race.
- Democrats strongly agree with their nominee Joe Biden that America is entering “a dark winter” because of the coronavirus, but other voters aren’t nearly as gloomy. President Trump is more upbeat, promising a COVID-19 vaccine soon, and most voters say they’re likely to get one.
- More voters plan to vote in person after all as Election Day approaches, with confidence even higher that all votes will be correctly counted.
- The Rasmussen Reports Immigration Index for the week of October 18-22, 2020 rose to 105.5 from 102.6 the week before.
- Voters think it’s likely that Joe Biden was in on his son Hunter’s controversial business deals abroad but are more critical of President Trump’s ethics than those of the Democratic nominee.
- Thirty-eight percent (38%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
