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 48%.

  - In the aftermath of FBI raids on former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s home and office, most voters don’t believe it was about national security.  

  - Opposition to ending the U.S. Senate’s filibuster rule has softened, now that Republicans hold the majority in the upper chamber of Congress.

  - One of President Donald Trump’s proposals to protect election integrity appears to have majority support. 

  - After President Donald Trump met with European leaders and the heads of both Russia and Ukraine, voters are divided over whether this diplomacy will be effective.

  - After four years of Joe Biden dodging media scrutiny, a majority of voters recognize that President Donald Trump is more available to questions from the press.

  - Americans overwhelmingly believe kids should be taught traditional values, and many don’t think schools are doing a good job of it. 

  - Support for raising the national minimum wage continues to raise, with 4-in-10 Americans now saying it should be at least double what current federal law requires. 

  - Forty-six percent (46%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
