National Survey of 1,107 U.S. Likely Voters
Conducted August 5-6 and 9, 2026

By Rasmussen Reports

 

1* Do you trust most political polls?

 

 

2* Is the current polling on political issues and events better or worse than it has been in the past? Or is it about the same?

 

 

3* Is the average pollster more liberal than you are, more conservative, or about the same as you ideologically?

 

 

4* When they poll on President Trump, are most pollsters trying to help the president pass his agenda, block the president from passing his agenda, or are they simply interested in reporting the attitudes of Americans in an unbiased manner?
