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 51%.
- The Trump administration’s attempt to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a student from Syria who led anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, has sparked widely diverging reactions among Democrats and Republicans.
- A majority of voters reject the wave of vandalism that has emerged since President Donald Trump appointed Tesla CEO Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
- A majority of American voters maintain a positive view of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as President Donald Trump pressures Europe to increase their military contributions to the alliance.
- Today is St. Patrick’s Day and nearly half of Americans will participate in the annual celebration of Irish heritage.
- By a six-point margin, voters have a more favorable opinion of Republicans than they do of Democrats
– in part because many Democratic voters are disaffected with their own party.
- Even as parts of the Midwest still face freezing temperatures, today is officially the first day of spring, and most Americans are glad it’s finally here.
- A majority of Americans report higher food costs, and inflation continues to impact the nation’s eating habits.
- Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
