What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending November 18, 2023
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 43%.
- On the issue of ethics and corruption in government, Democrats and Republicans are tied, but former President Donald Trump is viewed as less ethical than President Joe Biden.
- More than three-quarters of voters expect abortion to be an important issue in the 2024 election, and Democrats hold an 11-point advantage on the issue.
- The third-party campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could have a major impact on the 2024 presidential election.
- A majority of voters believe the economy has gotten worse under President Joe Biden, but most Democrats want to blame Republicans in Congress.
- A majority of voters expect cheating to influence next year’s presidential election, and see mail-in voting as part of the problem.
- While the holiday shopping season traditionally begins on “Black Friday” – the day after Thanksgiving – many Americans aren’t waiting to buy gifts.
- Although Americans have become slightly more optimistic about the economy, less than a third expect it to be stronger over the next year.
- Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
