What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending May 27, 2023

In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:

-  President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 44%. 

- A majority of voters want consequences for Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials who promoted false accusations of “Russian collusion” against former President Donald Trump. 

Homelessness is a very serious problem that’s getting worse, according to a majority of Americans. 

- A majority of voters don’t trust the news they’re getting about politics, and still agree with former President Donald Trump’s denunciation of the news media as “the enemy of the people.”

- Most voters remain concerned about the economy, and the Republican Party is making gains on the issue. 

- With high school graduation season upon us, most Americans doubt that new graduates are prepared either to enter the job market or succeed in college. 

- The political influence of social media has grown in recent years, especially voters under 40. 

- The Rasmussen Reports Immigration Index for the week of May 14-18, 2023, decreased to 88.4, down more than three points from 91.5 two weeks earlier

Twenty-seven percent (27%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
