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%.
- Vice President Kamala Harris has pushed into the lead over former President Donald Trump in the latest daily tracking poll of the 2024 presidential election.
- Although he is now the oldest candidate in presidential history, most voters don’t think former President Donald Trump is too old for the job.
- Less than two weeks before Election Day, roughly half of voters expect violence when it’s over – no matter who wins the White House.
- A majority of voters suspect that the expansion of mail-in voting has made it easier to cheat in elections.
- A solid majority of Americans believe that the country’s homeless problem has gotten worse.
- When asked to identify America’s biggest enemy, most voters don’t name a foreign country, and more than four-in-10 think we could be facing a civil war in the near future.
- A majority of voters say it’s gotten harder to find political news they can trust, and a third now trust independent online sources the most.
- Thirty-four percent (34%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
