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%.
- The influence of radical Islam in the United States is a cause for concern for a majority of voters, who oppose Muslims forming separate communities here.
- Most voters don’t think the news media has done a good job of covering President Donald Trump’s administration, and few believe the media’s coverage is friendly toward the president.
- A narrow majority of voters approve of Operation Absolute Resolve, the U.S. military action that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
- Vice President J.D. Vance remains popular with Republicans, but his rating by other voters has declined significantly in the past four months.
- Widespread protests in Iran against Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei’s government have many American voters hoping that the end may be near for the Iranian regime.
- Most Americans exercise regularly, but find it more convenient to do so at home than to join a gym.
- As the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday approaches, most Americans don’t think race relations in the country are improving.
- Forty-one percent (41%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
