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 52%.

- One day before a deadline for Congress to approve a new spending agreement, a majority of voters expect a shutdown of the federal government.

 - As President Donald Trump wages trade wars with Canada and China, nearly half of voters believe raising tariffs on imports would hurt America’s economy.

 - March is Women’s History Month, and perhaps because of Kamala Harris’s defeat in last year’s election, voters are less confident that women’s leadership will increase – at least in the short term.

- Most voters view Volodymyr Zelenskyy favorably, and only a third blame the Ukrainian president for his recent dispute with President Donald Trump.

 - President Donald Trump addressed a joint session of Congress last week, and his speech was significantly more popular with voters than the way Democrats reacted.

 - Economic confidence deccreased to 107.2 in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, more than four points lower than February.

 - A little more than a month before the Internal Revenue Service deadline, most Americans have not yet filed their income taxes, and fewer of them expect a refund compared to last year.

 - Voters overwhelmingly favor legislation to make English the official language of the United States, following President Donald Trump’s recent executive order. 

 - National unemployment was 8.2% in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Real Unemployment update, down almost a point from 9.1% last month and double the 4.1% rate officially reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics today.

 - Forty-three percent (43%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
