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 45%.
- President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to uproot the so-called “Deep State” of entrenched federal bureaucrats, but a majority of voters don’t think he’s winning that battle.
- The practice of partisan gerrymandering is seen as a very serious problem by most voters, although they are divided over whether Democrats or Republicans are more prone to it.
- The decision to go to war in Iran may be controversial, but voters overwhelmingly have positive opinions about the U.S. military – and see their current mission as a success.
- The ongoing U.S. war against Iran is viewed as a success by most voters, although many have doubts about America’s military alliance with Israel.
- The cost of gas and groceries continue to top the list of economic worries as voters remain negative about President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy.
- More than a third of Americans now say they’re now tuning into podcasts every week, with politics as the top attraction for the online shows.
- Today the nation dons green to honor Saint Patrick, and the holiday is considered more important by Irish-Americans. [
- Forty-one percent (41%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
