What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending March 2, 2024
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 42%.
- North Carolina has added 5 million residents since 1980, and two-thirds of voters there support reducing immigration to control the state’s explosive growth.
- Arizona Republican Kari Lake has a three-point lead over Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego in this year’s U.S. Senate race, and Lake’s margin would be slightly wider if incumbent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema decides to seek reelection as an independent.
- A majority of American voters blame Russian President Vladimir Putin for opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s recent death in prison, but don’t think economic sanctions will have much effect on Putin’s regime.
- Nearly half of voters think it’s likely the Democratic Party will find another candidate to replace President Joe Biden this year, and a former first lady is a favorite pick for the candidate switcheroo.
- Most voters think former President Donald Trump has got the Republican nomination locked up and, while they have preferences about his running mate, most say Trump’s veep pick won’t matter on Election Day.
- The Rasmussen Reports Immigration Index for February decreased to 85.3, down nearly four points from 89.1 in January.
- Higher interest rates have had little impact on how confident American homeowners are in the resale value of their homes.
- The Internal Revenue Service deadline is seven weeks away, and almost a quarter of Americans have already filed their income taxes.
- Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
