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 53%.
- Voters are overwhelmingly concerned about Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and a majority would support an American military strike to end the threat.
- About two-thirds of voters believe the recent fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers should be viewed as an act of terrorism.
- The recent announcement that former President Joe Biden has advanced prostate cancer has many voters suspecting a cover-up.
- The annual holiday honoring those who died while serving in the U.S. military also marks the beginning of summer, most Americans say.
- Voters rate President Donald Trump significantly better than his predecessor in terms of how he’s dealing with America’s crime problem.
- In the wake of recent warnings from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), about half of Americans think vaccines against the COVID-19 virus may have caused heart problems for some patients.
- The belief that so-called “chemtrails” are secretly being used to change the weather is widely regarded as a conspiracy theory.
- Forty-eight percent (48%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
