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 40%.
- Gigantic data centers aren’t welcome as neighbors by a majority of voters, but they don’t want Congress getting involved in the issue, either.
- The president earned a monthly job approval of 43% in June, unchanged from May.
- Podcasts are now very popular for political discussion, but despite being a Top Ten podcaster, Tucker Carlson’s latest controversial message doesn’t seem to be resonating with most voters.
- President Donald Trump’s handling of foreign policy is less popular now than it was before the Iran war, and most voters want him to focus more on domestic issues.
- American voters continue to view domestic terrorism as a greater threat than foreign terrorism, and see the far right as more dangerous than the far left.
- Most Americans are proud of their country on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
- Recent revelations about the origins of the COVID-19 virus have heightened suspicions many Americans have about both the pandemic and the vaccines used to treat it.
- Thirty-eight percent (38%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
