What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending July 13, 2024
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 44%.
- Most voters don’t think Joe Biden is actually doing the job of president, and few are very confident that he is capable of doing the job.
- Hatred of the news media may be at an all-time high, and a majority of voters say media bias is still getting worse.
- A strong majority of voters consider inflation a very serious problem, and Republicans have a 16-point margin over Democrats in terms of who voters trust to handle the issue.
- Voters overwhelmingly expect the economy to be a top issue in November and, by a 7-point margin, trust Republicans more than Democrats to handle the issue.
- Former President Donald Trump has maintained his lead over President Joe Biden in the past month, in the wake of the June 27 presidential debate.
- Economic confidence increased to 105.4 in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, more than 15 points higher than June.
- Most Americans think it’s hotter than usual this summer, and a majority suspect it’s because of climate change.
- Thirty percent (30%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
