In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 41%.
- Fewer than one-in-seven American voters believe Ukraine is winning its war against Russia, despite their favorable opinion of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s leadership.
- Voters are sharply divided over reports that Federal Bureau of Investigation agents in the August 2022 raid of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home were authorized to use “deadly force.”
- Nearly half of voters – including a majority of Democrats – think it’s OK for the Democratic Party to replace President Joe Biden with some other candidate.
- With racial rhetoric beginning to stir the presidential campaign, most voters still believe politicians who play the so-called “race card” aren’t really helping minorities.
- A firestorm of controversy was unleashed this month when Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker gave a graduation speech at a Catholic college, expressing traditional Catholic beliefs about marriage and family life.
- The Rasmussen Reports Immigration Index for May increased to 91.1, up more than four points from 86.6 in April.
- With regular gasoline selling for nearly $3.50 a gallon, more than a third say fuel prices have altered their plans for a summer vacation.
