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 42%.
- A majority of voters believe federal officials helped conceal the role China played in the origins of the COVID-19 outbreak.
- Voter enthusiasm for this fall’s midterm congressional elections is much higher among older voters, with Baby Boomers likely to have a dominant impact in November.
- In a remarkable reversal of previous trends, voters now trust Democrats more than Republicans on the issue of immigration.
- Although a majority of voters say they trust electronic voting machines, many are worried by allegations that the machines can be manipulated remotely.
- Voter support for the SAVE Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections, has remained steady for two months, despite inaction by the U.S. Senate.
- Is America getting fatter? The number who admit they could stand to lose some weight has increased in the past five years.
- Nearly half of American families have a 401(k) account, and most of those who do have seen their balance go up over the last year.
- Thirty-six percent (36%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
