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 43%.
- The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is viewed favorably by less than half of Americans, and more than two-thirds of Democrats would vote for candidates who pledge to abolish ICE.
- Nearly a third of American voters identify as progressives, but even more are worried about how much influence progressives now have in the Democratic Party.
- More than two-thirds of voters support term limits for Congress, at a time when the health of 84-year-old Sen. Mitch McConnell has highlighted the problem of those who stay too long on Capitol Hill.
- The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) continues to be viewed favorably by most voters, although many don’t believe America’s allies are doing enough to help the military alliance.
- Revelations about China’s breach of American election systems have many voters worried in the wake of President Donald Trump’s speech on the subject last week.
- A majority of Americans remain confident in the safety of the nation’s food supply, but an outbreak of cyclosporiasis may change their fast-food habits.
- Millions of Americans are looking for love online, but a majority don’t have a favorable view of popular dating apps.
- Thirty-six percent (36%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
