What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls - Week Ending September 16, 2023
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 47%.
- Voters are almost evenly divided over the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
- Democrats are satisfied with long prison sentences for supporters of former President Donald Trump who rioted at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, but other voters, not so much.
- Voters overwhelmingly support term limits for members of Congress, but don’t expect such a measure to be enacted.
- Amid questions about Sen. Mitch McConnell’s health, an overwhelming majority of voters agree that the Kentucky Republican should resign his post as Senate Minority Leader.
- The prosecution of former President Donald Trump by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is unfair, according to a majority of Georgia voters, most of whom have concerns about the integrity of elections in their state.
- The United States is a fair and decent country, say a majority of voters who expect America’s culture to be embraced by immigrants.
- The Rasmussen Reports Immigration Index for the week of September 3-7, 2023, decreased to 90.0, down more than points from 92.5 two weeks earlier.
- Thirty-five percent (35%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
