What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending December 30, 2023
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 46%.
- Voters overwhelmingly say America’s political leadership has declined in their lifetime, and many don’t see leaders in Washington as representing their party’s values.
- By a 24-point margin, more Americans say their personal finances have gotten worse than better, and only a quarter expect their situation to improve in the months ahead.
- With just weeks to go before Republican primary voters begin choosing their 2024 presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump has a wide lead over his rivals for the GOP nomination.
- Only the Grinch could be happy about this: Christmas has lost its longtime status as America’s favorite holiday.
- When the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, most Americans will be home to greet the arrival of 2024.
- This year didn’t live up to expectations for most Americans, but many are still optimistic about 2024.
- Thirty-four percent (34%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
