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%.
- With prospects for ending the war with Iran now uncertain, less than half of American voters view the six-week military campaign against the Tehran regime as successful.
- A majority of Americans like Pope Leo XIV, and support the head of the Catholic Church speaking out on political issues.
- Confidence in traditional news media has declined to the point that a majority of voters agree with Elon Musk that the media's credibility is now "zero."
- The release of previously classified documents about the 2019 impeachment of President Donald Trump has caused many voters to suspect officials engaged in criminal activity to "frame" the president.
- Voters are divided over how well President Donald Trump is doing as Commander-in-Chief, but he scores much better than Joe Biden, especially among military veterans.
- As college commencement season begins, more than two-thirds of Americans expect this year's graduates will have trouble finding jobs.
- A strong majority of Americans favor boosting the minimum wage, which Congress hasn't increased since 2009.
- Forty percent (40%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
