What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending March 16, 2024
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 45%.
- Most voters consider it important for the government to stop illegal immigration, and don’t think they’re doing a good job of it.
- Many commentators have suggested that Democrats could replace President Joe Biden as their candidate, but former President Donald Trump leads two of the most high-profile alternatives.
- Eight months before the presidential election, economic issues and immigration matter more to voters than abortion.
- After the Supreme Court rejected attempts to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the ballot, a majority of Democratic voters now support another way to block Trump’s possible return to the White House.
- After reports about a secretive Biden administration program to fly illegal immigrants into the United States, most U.S. voters oppose the program.
- A month before the Internal Revenue Service deadline, most Americans have not yet filed their income taxes, but more of them expect a refund than last year.
- An overwhelming majority of Americans think young people spend too much time on social media, and think online overexposure may be causing mental health problems.
- Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
