What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Trump ended the polling week on Friday with a daily job approval of 48%.
- A narrow majority of voters approve of President Donald Trump’s recent executive order to begin shutting down the federal Department of Education.
- Nearly three months into his tenure, Secretary of State Marco Rubio maintains a favorable rating from a plurality of voters.
- Even as President Donald Trump’s tariff policy sparks controversy, the underlying goal – protecting American manufacturing – is a big winner with voters.
- Nearly half of voters say the accidental leak of top Trump administration figures discussing military plans on the Signal messaging app is a serious scandal.
- President Donald Trump’s tariff policy isn’t popular with voters, many of whom fear it will lead the economy into recession.
- Economic confidence increased to 111.3 in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, more than four points higher than March.
- Less than a week before the Internal Revenue Service deadline, more than a third of Americans haven’t filed their income taxes yet.
- Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
