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 46%.
- A majority of voters think non-citizens are on voter registration rolls, at a time when Congress is considering legislation to protect election integrity.
- More than a year into President Donald Trump’s second term, a majority of voters answer “no” to a series of questions made famous by an earlier Republican.
- Voters are divided over whether what’s good for business is also good for ordinary Americans, and half consider President Donald Trump too much swayed by corporate interests.
- Most voters don’t think America is living in the “Golden Age” that President Donald Trump promised in his inaugural address, and nearly half say he’s doing a worse job than his predecessor.
- More voters think conservatism has been good for the country than say the same about liberalism, but both are viewed negatively by more than 40%.
- Economic confidence decreased to 107.5 in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, nearly two points lower than January.
- National unemployment was 7.4% in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Real Unemployment update, down slightly from last month from 8.3% last month.
- With the season for filing income taxes under way, more Americans believe they’ll get a refund from the Internal Revenue Service this year.
- Thirty-six percent (36%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
