What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending January 6, 2024
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 43%.
- While officials say crime decreased last year, few Americans believe this is true where they live.
- With the 2024 presidential election approaching, most voters still see the economy as more important than national security or immigration-related issues.
- For the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, a majority of voters now consider the war to be a stalemate.
- The president earned a monthly job approval of 44% in December, unchanged from November.
- Economic confidence increased to 102.2 in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, more than four points higher than December. This is the fourth consecutive monthly increase in the index.
- President Joe Biden says the economy is “all good,” but barely a third of Americans expect their financial situation to improve in 2024.
- Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
