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 47%.

  - Even though a majority of voters still favor the H-1B visa program, they also agree with a Fox News Channel host’s recent criticism of President Donald Trump’s statements about the need for foreign workers. 

 - While many Americans are concerned about the implications of artificial intelligence technology, a significant number of voters under 40 are willing to let AI exercise tremendous power in society and government. 

 - The most important thing the government can do for young people is encourage job creation, according to a plurality of American voters, most of whom don’t feel President Donald Trump is doing enough on the issue. 

 - Voters overwhelmingly agree that Big Tech has “run wild,” and favor using antitrust laws to promote fair competition and prevent anticompetitive business practices.  

 - Voters have a less favorable opinion of House and Senate leaders in the aftermath of the 43-day government shutdown, with House Speaker Mike Johnson suffering the worst decline.  

 - More than a third of Americans who were vaccinated against COVID-19 say they had side effects from the shot, and nearly half suspect the vaccines killed many patients. 

 - The cost of living – particularly higher grocery prices – continues to worry most Americans.  

 - A majority of voters under 40 want a democratic socialist to win the White House in the next presidential election.  

 - Thirty-six percent (36%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
