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 50%.
- After falling out with President Donald Trump, Elon Musk announced he’d form a new third party, but barely one-in-four voters think it’s a good idea.
- Less than half of voters believe the government is doing enough to stop illegal immigrants from getting taxpayer-funded benefits.
- A majority of voters aren’t buying the recent findings of a Department of Justice/FBI investigation into the case of high-profile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
- Despite recent revelations about the corrupt origins of claims that Donald Trump “colluded” with Russia, a majority of Democrats still think it explains how Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016.
- While the share of voters who favor amnesty for illegal immigrants has risen since last year, few think President Donald Trump would permit it.
- More than three-quarters of Americans are still worried about inflation, particularly higher grocery prices.
- Most Americans don’t travel out of the country regularly, but Europe tops the list of their preferred destinations.
- Economic confidence increased to 115.9 in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, more than three points higher than June.
- National unemployment was 8.8% in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Real Unemployment update, up slightly from 8.5% last month and significantly more than the 4.4% rate officially reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics today.
- Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
