What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending March 5, 2022
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 voters don’t think President Joe Biden has effectively responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and don’t believe economic sanctions will be enough to stop the Russian aggression.
- Most voters think the United States is paying more than its fair share of NATO’s budget, and many question whether we are getting our money’s worth from the alliance.
- With Russian troops advancing toward the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, most voters believe the invasion could spark a wider war in Europe, and nearly half think U.S. troops should be part of such a war.
- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi intends to seek another term in Congress, but most voters (including nearly a third of Democrats) think it would be better for the country if she stepped down.
- Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will have a negative impact on the U.S. economy, most Americans believe.
- Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused gasoline prices to spike, and most Americans expect the cost to continue rising.
- The president earned a monthly job approval of 42% in February, up two points from January.
- Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
