- President Trump ended the polling week on Friday with a daily job approval of 45%.
- After the Supreme Court heard arguments on birthright citizenship, a majority of voters now favor limits on the longstanding practice.
- More states have legalized physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill patients, but fewer Americans now support such laws.

- Voters overwhelmingly favor local cops cooperating with federal immigration officials in targeting violent offenders who are here illegally.
- National unemployment was 9.3% in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Real Unemployment update, up from 8.1% last month and significantly more than the 4.3% rate.

- Fewer Americans now see their financial situation getting better, and most don’t expect it to improve soon.
