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 48%.
- Voters overwhelmingly favor cracking down on illegal campaign contributions from foreigners.
- While many voters are dissatisfied with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, it hasn’t done much damage to her overall approval.
- The next midterm elections are still more than a year away, but the Democratic Party has widened its lead over Republicans in the battle to control the House of Representatives in November 2026.
- Many voters give President Donald Trump a poor rating on economic issues, despite strong approval from Republicans.
- Most voters think the accusations surrounding “RussiaGate” are a serious scandal, but few expect criminal prosecution of the Obama administration officials involved.
- Expectations of higher stock prices have cooled somewhat since the first month of President Donald Trump’s second term.
- Americans continue to view exercise as important, and the vast majority say they work out regularly.
- Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
