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 41%.
- The on-again-off-again negotiations for a peace deal with Iran have many voters worried that the final agreement won’t do enough to contain the threat from Iran.
- Most voters believe the U.S. economy has gotten worse since last year, but they’re divided over which party can do a better job of handling it.
- Voter approval for the Iran war has declined by 12 points in less than three months, while a majority approve of reported terms for a peace agreement.
- The president earned a monthly job approval of 43% in May, down one point from April.
- The Central Intelligence Agency has suffered some embarrassment recently, but nearly half of voters still have a favorable opinion of the agency.
- Less than a third of Americans think Hollywood has a positive impact, but fewer now say liberalism defines the movie industry.
- Most Americans would rather keep living where they are, but Florida leads the list of states where they’d move if they had the chance.
- Thirty-six percent (36%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
