What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending April 27, 2024
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 42%.
- Instead of asking who voters want to win the presidential election, what happens when we ask who they think actually will win in November?
- More voters agree with a popular social media message in favor of former President Donald Trump than agree with a pro-Joe Biden message.
- More Americans are exercising their Second Amendment rights these days, and most see self-defense as the best reason for firearms ownership.
- Congress has passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill, but most voters say the government is spending too much to help other countries.
- A bill pending in the Ohio legislature to help control illegal immigration by requiring employers to use the E-Verify system has overwhelming support from the state’s voters.
- President Joe Biden’s policy toward Israel isn’t popular, and many think former President Donald Trump would do a better job handling the Middle East.
- Opening arguments are expected today in the so-called “hush money” trial of former President Donald Trump, and more than half of voters doubt the fairness of the proceedings.
- Thirty percent (30%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
