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 43%.
- Significantly more voters now favor government action to silence online “hate speech” than they did just four years ago.
- America’s armed forces can take on any foe, most voters believe, but less than half give President Donald Trump credit for improving military readiness.
- A majority of voters think the November midterm elections could be affected by cheating, and many still think the 2020 election was “rigged.”
- The Democratic Party now leads Republicans by six points in the battle to control the House of Representatives.
- Congressional elections this November are shaping up as a referendum on whether President Donald Trump should be impeached.
- A majority of Americans have cut back on driving because of the cost of gasoline, and many say it’s changed their plans for summer vacation.
- High school graduation season is here, but most Americans don’t believe this year’s seniors are prepared for what lies ahead.
- Thirty-six percent (36%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
