What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending October 28, 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%.
- Speculation that Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin could run for the 2024 Republican president nomination gets little encouragement from voters.
- Although most voters expect to watch next month’s debate among Republican presidential candidates in Miami, more than half of GOP voters agree with a suggestion that the Republican National Committee should cancel “all future debates.”
- Voters are divided over whether President Joe Biden’s historic wartime visit to Israel was a success, and a majority oppose bringing Gaza refugees to America.
- With war raging in the Middle East, voters trust Republicans more to deal with national security issues.
- After this month’s attacks in Israel, American voters overwhelmingly view Hamas as terrorists, and want an investigation of the Palestinian organization’s U.S. supporters.
- Most working Americans say they’re now working extra hours in an effort to keep up with inflation.
- The Rasmussen Reports Immigration Index for the week of October 15-19, 2023, decreased to 88.9, down more than four points from 93.1 two weeks earlier.
- Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
