Pulse Opinion Research conducts the field work and provides the methodology for all Rasmussen Reports surveys. Pulse did a number of state tracking surveys during the presidential election season for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and the Entertainment Software Association.
Here’s the Auto Alliance’s analysis of those survey results.
With Hillary Clinton holding a 0.9% lead over Donald Trump in the popular vote, 2016 appears to be the fourth time in U.S. history that the president-elect lost the overall vote but won the Electoral College to take the White House. Even before the election results came in, a majority of voters said the Electoral College needs to go.
California, Massachusetts and Nevada are the latest states to legalize recreational use of pot, and nearly half of voters favor such a law where they live.
Voters are pretty critical of the news coverage they got this election cycle, particularly those who relied on social media.
Voters tend to think both presidential candidates ran mostly negative campaigns this year but feel President-elect Donald Trump's was far more negative than Hillary Clinton’s.

After months of bitter campaigning, decision day is finally here. So which issues are driving voters’ decisions this presidential election year?
The ultimate outsider is challenging the ultimate insider, and it’s driving the pollsters crazy.
Voters claim the issues count more than a candidate's character, but most think this year's presidential election will be decided by the controversies that have dogged the candidates and not their policy positions. But then most also don't consider their fellow Americans to be informed voters.
Voters are slightly more convinced that Democrat Hillary Clinton knows more than Republican Donald Trump where she wants to lead the country. But like most issues this political season, it depends on which party’s voters you ask.
The presidential race between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump has been tight nationally for months, but a majority of voters think Clinton will win the election.
Rasmussen Reports’ final White House Watch survey shows Democrat Hillary Clinton with a two-point lead over Republican Donald Trump with less than 24 hours to go until Election Day. Among early voters, Clinton has a double-digit lead.

FBI Director James Comey dropped a political bombshell last week when he publicly notified Congress that the FBI is reopening its criminal investigation of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified material while secretary of State. President Obama, Clinton and legislators in both parties have criticized Comey's timing, but most voters approve of what he did.
It's another presidential election cycle, and voters are more stressed at family and friends.
Hillary Clinton is the first woman presidential nominee of a major U.S. political party, but most voters, including the vast majority of women, insist that won’t make a difference when they cast their vote.
