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 44%.
- The Democratic Party continues to lead over Republicans in the battle to control the House of Representatives, but by a slimmer margin than two months ago.
- Most current and former members of the U.S. military support President Donald Trump, and overwhelmingly favor the Veterans’ Bill of Rights Act legislation currently pending in Congress.
- More voters continue to believe the Democratic Party cares about people like them than think the same about the GOP.
- Voters have a more favorable view of Secretary of State Marco Rubio now than they did a year ago.
- The Iran war has shut down oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, and most voters are concerned over how that will affect the U.S. economy.
- Finding love is more difficult for young people nowadays, most Americans believe, but a majority say both sides of the “war of the sexes” share the blame.
- Most Americans are concerned about problems caused by the country’s current low birth rate, and a majority think it’s best to have two or more children.
- Forty percent (40%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
