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 47%.
- Many voters still have doubts about the election that put Joe Biden in the White House, but nearly half of Democrats favor punishing those who dispute the 2020 outcome.
- Voters overwhelmingly consider home ownership crucial to “The American Dream,” and many doubt that President Donald Trump is helping younger generations achieve it.
- Despite criticism that H-1B visas undermine wages for American workers, most voters still favor the federal program.
- In the wake of revelations about the so-called “RussiaGate” scandal, more than two-thirds of voters agree with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that there must be “accountability” for any crimes committed.
- Securing the border is the one achievement of President Donald Trump’s second term so far that most voters recognize.
- National unemployment was 7.9% in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Real Unemployment update, down slightly from 8.2% last month and significantly more than the 4.2% rate officially reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics today.
- Most public school systems now start the school year in August, but a majority of Americans think that’s too soon.
- With federal tax credits for electric vehicles set to expire soon, fewer than a third of Americans are in the market for an EV.
- Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
