What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending November 16, 2024
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 43%.
- During his winning presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised to deport illegal aliens – a plan approved by most voters, who expect him to keep his promise.
- Despite the fact that Donald Trump has apparently won a majority of the popular vote, most voters still want to get rid of the Electoral College.
- Amid finger-pointing among Democrats over who to blame for Vice President Kamala Harris’s election loss, most voters agree that President Joe Biden should have ended his reelection campaign earlier.
- Despite concerns about the economy and other issues, illegal immigration topped the list of problems that voters want the new president to solve.
- Many voters believe the danger of terrorism has increased during President Joe Biden’s term in the White House, and a majority think America is likely to face more terrorist attacks in the next four years.
- Although a majority of American adults are still religious, faith continues declining among those under 40.
- As the nation prepares to install its 47th president, Americans are overwhelmingly proud of their country and its history.
- Thirty-three percent (33%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
