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 question of which party is more trusted to handle taxes now slightly favors Democrats, less than five months ahead of the midterm elections.
- Most voters don’t consider the Iran war a success, but barely a third wanted the United States to continue until the regime in Tehran was overturned.
- A majority of voters plan to vote against incumbents in this fall’s midterm election and, if they had the chance, would send the entire Congress home.
- Accusations that the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine abused an ex-girlfriend have not convinced most voters nationwide.
- Republicans’ advantage on national security issues has nearly disappeared since February, with the midterm elections fast less than five months away.
- Five years after Congress made June 19th a national holiday, Americans overwhelmingly approve of officially commemorating the end of slavery.
- Nearly half of Americans are planning to take a vacation this summer, but barely a third expect to take a theme park trip.
- Thirty-four percent (34%)of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
