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 50%.
- President Donald Trump has talked of Canada becoming the 51st state, and half of American voters would be OK with it if any of our northern neighbor’s provinces wanted to leave Canada.
- President Donald Trump’s suggestion to replace an existing visa program for foreign investors with a $5 million “gold card” visa hasn’t won majority support.
- Most voters favor the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) doing an audit of the Social Security system, and think such an audit would find rampant fraud in the program.
- The president earned a monthly job approval of 51% in February, his first full month in office.
- President Donald Trump’s repeated call to “drain the swamp” of bureaucracy in the nation’s capital continues to resonate with voters.
- Americans overwhelmingly believe that excessive Internet use is a factor in the mental health problems affecting young people.
- A majority of Americans think global warming is real, despite scientific evidence cited by critics of the climate change agenda.
- Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
