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 44%.
- More voters agree with a negative message about former President Donald Trump than with a positive message about President Joe Biden.
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is the favorite to be former President Donald Trump’s vice-presidential running mate, but for most voters, the VP choice doesn’t really matter.
- Confidence that Social Security will pay out its promised benefits remains high, and voters trust Republicans slightly more than Democrats to deal with the issue.
- With the earliest-ever presidential debate scheduled for Thursday, former President Donald Trump is favored over incumbent President Joe Biden as the debate winner by a 10-point margin.
- Although nearly half of voters identify as pro-choice on the abortion issue, the Democratic Party’s advantage has dwindled to statistical insignificance.
- Most Americans don’t think diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) programs are making companies better, and many suspect DEI is being used to justify discrimination against white males.
- For most Americans, quality is still their top priority when shopping.
- Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
