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 47%.
- By a five-point margin, more voters say the Democratic Party cares about people like them than say the same about the GOP.
- In a perhaps ironic turn of events, it’s Democrats who now have doubts about the health of an aging president.
- A majority of voters approve of the Trump administration’s military strikes against drug-smuggling vessels near the coast of Venezuela, but most Democrats want to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the policy.
- High housing costs have reached unsustainable levels – the definition of a “housing bubble” – most Americans believe.
- By a 2-to-1 margin, more voters want complete Russian withdrawal from Ukraine than favor a peace deal with territorial concessions.
- Economic confidence increased to 108.9 in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, more than 10 points higher than November.
- Even though a majority of Americans believe that artificial intelligence (AI) may be doing most jobs in the future, they don’t see it as a threat to their own employment.
- Thirty-six percent (36%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
