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%.
- By an 18-point margin, more voters approve than disapprove of the immigration enforcement raids launched since Donald Trump became president.
- Who is more trustworthy, President Donald Trump, the news media, or the Federal Bureau of Investigation? For Republican voters, questions like this are easy.
- Both the last-minute pardons former President Joe Biden gave his family members and the pardons President Donald Trump gave to J6 rioters are unpopular with a majority of voters.
- A majority of voters agree with President Donald Trump’s declaration in his inauguration address that “the golden age of America begins right now.”
- Former President Joe Biden’s decision to give Dr. Anthony Fauci a “full and unconditional” pardon for any crimes he may have committed dating back to 2014 remains controversial.
- As Americans prepare to recognize Black History Month in February, many remain pessimistic about the state of race relations in the country.
- Less than half of Americans believe they live in a country characterized by fairness and decency, a sharp decline from previous surveys.
- Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
