What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending May 6, 2023
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 48%.
- Most voters expect abortion to be an important issue in next year’s election, and Democrats have a narrow advantage on the issue.
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is viewed as a rival to former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination, but as a vice-presidential running mate, DeSantis would significantly boost Trump’s chances of winning.
- A majority of voters believe Secretary of State Anthony Blinken should be impeached for his reported role in helping suppress news about Hunter Biden’s laptop during the 2020 presidential campaign.
- The president earned a monthly job approval of 48% in April, up one point from March.
- Most gun owners say they feel safer with a firearm in the house, and don’t think the government can be trusted to enforce gun control laws fairly.
- Now that 80-year-old President Joe Biden has announced his reelection plans, a majority of voters expect his age to be a problem in his 2024 White House bid.
- Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
