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

Hillary Clinton made headlines earlier this week when she told an interviewer that no one in Congress likes Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders. But their fellow Democrats – and voters in general – like Bernie more than Hillary.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 37% of Likely U.S. Voters say they like Sanders more than Clinton. Just 22% like Clinton more. Thirty-nine percent (39%) don’t care for either one of them. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 32% of Likely U.S. Voters believe ongoing negotiations between the United States and the Afghani Taliban are likely to bring the 18-year war in Afghanistan to a satisfactory conclusion.

Most (56%) say the current negotiations are unlikely to result in a satisfactory end to the war, with 23% who say they’re Not At All Likely to do so. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided.(To see survey question wording, click here.)

Most voters think the U.S. Senate should allow new witnesses to supplement the House’s party-line impeachment case before deciding whether to remove President Trump from office.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 35% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the Senate trial should be based only on the impeachment cases voted on by House Democrats in December. But 55% disagree and say the Senate should allow new witnesses to be called before reaching a verdict. Ten percent (10%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

President Trump has just signed the first phase of an historic trade agreement with China, although both countries are still keeping their recently imposed tariffs in place for now. Voters tend to think the deal will be good for America and are more upbeat on how it will impact them personally. But as usual, party line makes a difference.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 40% of Likely U.S. Voters believe America’s trade relationship with China will be better a year from now than it is today. Twenty-eight percent (28%) expect that relationship to be worse in a year’s time. This compares to 42% and 34% of voters respectively in October 2018 just after the Trump administration imposed the tariffs on China. Twenty-two percent (22%) expect the U.S.-China trade relationship to remain about the same. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

For many Democrats, Bernie Sanders is the candidate who can beat Joe Biden for the party’s 2020 presidential nomination. But voters are less in sync with Sanders’ avowedly socialist views than those of his potential campaign rival, President Trump.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 26% of Likely U.S. Voters say Sanders’ views are closest to their own when thinking about the major issues facing the country. Twenty-four percent (24%) say their views are closest to the average Democratic member of Congress, while 41% are most in line with the average congressional Republican.(To see survey question wording, click here.)
