Rasmussen Reports’ final White House Watch daily tracking poll survey was posted Monday morning. It showed Democrat Hillary Clinton with a two-point advantage over Republican Donald Trump – 45% to 43%. To be precise, it was Clinton 44.8% to Trump 43.1%, a difference of 1.7%.
Most voters like the way President Obama has responded to the election of Donald Trump but don’t think the early public peace between the two men says much about the future.
Most voters think Democrats should work with Donald Trump once he’s in the White House, but Democrats strongly disagree. Still, voters are more hopeful about the parties cooperating than they’ve been since President Obama’s inauguration in 2009.
Most voters are confident in the outcome of last week's election, but few trust the media coverage that led up to it.
President-elect Donald Trump in a “60 Minutes” interview on CBS last night made it clear that Obamacare and the U.S. Supreme Court are high on his list of action items, and voters think that’s a good place to start.
Maybe it was lucky for Donald Trump that he was running against Hillary Clinton or he wouldn't be president-elect today.
Most voters are reassured by the first post-election speeches President-elect Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton gave, but Democrats are apparently in a less forgiving mood.
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.
While most voters said the candidates’ policy positions were more important than their character, voters still place it high on the list of issues that influenced their vote in the presidential election.
Voters were a lot less certain how they were going to vote this year compared to the last two presidential elections, with one-in-four waiting until the final week to make up their minds.
The media created a false narrative about the 2016 presidential campaign, and most polling reinforced it.
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.
