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 50%.

- By a double-digit margin, more voters have a favorable than unfavorable opinion of Kash Patel, newly confirmed as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

 - As President Donald Trump’s administration exposes wasteful federal spending, more than two-thirds of voters are angry about the situation. 

 - While Republicans see President Donald Trump as doing the job he was elected to do, Democrats see the president’s action in a sinister light

 - Voters strongly favor President Donald Trump’s plan to apprehend and deport illegal aliens. 

 - A majority of voters favor an election integrity measure recently advocated by President Donald Trump.

 - Even though Americans overwhelmingly say they’ve never cheated on their taxes, one-third of them are worried they’ll get audited by the IRS.

 - Americans are now paying about 50 cents a gallon less for gasoline than they were a few months ago, but many still think the price could go up again. 

- Forty-eight percent (48%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
