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 50%.
- His second term is barely two months old, but already President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy is rated significantly better than his predecessor.
- Some liberals are calling for New York Sen. Chuck Schumer’s ouster as leader of Senate Democrats, but most of their own party’s voters disagree.
- Nearly two-thirds of voters back President Donald Trump’s effort to deport members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, and about half want to impeach the federal judge who ordered a halt to the deportations.
- A majority of voters suspect Joe Biden’s White House staffers used the “autopen” device without his permission and nearly half agree with President Donald Trump’s declaration that Biden’s pardons are illegitimate.
- With an unprecedented number of court injunctions against President Donald Trump’s policies, a majority of voters think the conflict between the executive and judiciary is a crisis, but blame is almost evenly divided.
- Many Americans say the recent success of a SpaceX mission has made them more confident in the U.S. space program, and a majority think we could send men to Mars within a decade.
- Although the stock market has rebounded from its recent decline, a majority of Americans are still worried – and think a major recession may be ahead.
- Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
