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 decision to go to war with Iran was wrong, most voters say, and most don’t think President Donald Trump is doing a good job on the issue.
- A win for Democrats in this fall’s midterm congressional elections will mean another impeachment of President Donald Trump, according to a majority of voters.
- President Donald Trump’s promise of a $5,000 “dividend” if Republicans win the midterm elections is approved by nearly half of voters, but few say it will affect how they vote.
- Fall officially arrives next week and most Americans say the change of season improves their mood.
- Republican businessman Rick Jackson leads former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms in the race to become the next governor of Georgia.
- Alaska’s incumbent Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan is tied with Democratic challenger Mary Peltola in a contest where ranked-choice voting will determine the winner with four names on the November ballot.
- Georgia’s Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff has a solid lead over Republican challenger Rep. Mike Collins, and may even be able to avoid a runoff.
- South Carolina Republican Sen. Darline Graham leads Democratic challenger Annie Andrews in the contest for the seat formerly held by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.
- Thirty-four percent (34%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
