What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Trump ended the polling week on Friday with a daily job approval of 49%.
- The practice of “debanking” ought to be illegal, most voters believe, and they support action by Congress and President Donald Trump to stop it.
- Half of voters expect crime in the nation’s capital to be reduced by President Donald Trump’s action to increase federal law enforcement in Washington, D.C..
- Voters overwhelmingly condemn the practice of drawing district lines to favor one party, whichever party does it.
- President Donald Trump has ordered a new census after errors were found in the 2020 numbers, and most voters agree with the president that illegal immigrants shouldn’t be included in census counts.
- Nearly two-thirds of voters still favor President Donald Trump’s call to “drain the swamp” of bureaucracy in the nation’s capital, but are divided on how he’s doing so far.
- Teaching is an important job, Americans overwhelmingly believe, but it’s not a career that most want to pursue.
- Most Americans don’t have a good estimate of the nation’s public schools, but fewer now rate them as doing a poor job.
- Forty-four percent (44%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
