What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 45%.
- About half of voters think President-elect Trump has done a good job of choosing Cabinet appointments, and nearly three-quarters believe the Senate will confirm most of Trump’s picks.
- Despite her defeat in this year’s presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is still seen by most Democrats as the best leader for their party.
- While most voters don’t think the Democratic Party did a good job during this year’s election, the party’s own voters have a different opinion.
- A majority of voters support measures to ensure that elections are honest and that results are reported quickly.
- Most voters don’t mind one party controlling both the White House and Congress, but since the election, Democrats are now having second thoughts.
- Even though it’s not yet Thanksgiving, many Americans have already begun buying gifts for the holidays.
- Has the election of Donald Trump boosted economic optimism? By one measurement, apparently so.
- Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
