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%.   

  - More than a quarter of American voters now believe socialism is better than capitalism, and this preference is strongest among Democrats. 

  - Two-thirds of voters agree that America’s birthright citizenship policies shouldn’t change, siding with the Supreme Court in opposing President Donald Trump’s effort to limit the policy. 

  - The Democratic Party now leads Republicans by four points in the battle to control the House of Representatives. 

  - The Supreme Court’s recent decision on a key immigration case – upholding President Donald Trump’s authority to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of migrants – has majority approval from voters. 

  - After a wave of victories for avowed socialist candidates in Democratic primaries, half of the electorate is worried about how these candidates will affect Congress. 

  - Nearly half of Americans remain suspicious that COVID-19 vaccines were responsible for some deaths during the pandemic, and many say they suffered side effects themselves. 

  - Thirty-third percent (33%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
