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%.
- While most voters believe the Democratic Party represents women’s interest, by an even wider margin, they think Republicans are the party of men.
- Despite the clear language of the Constitution – Article II, Section 3 says the president "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” – many voters seem to believe this doesn’t apply to immigration laws.
- After most public opinion polls missed on last year’s presidential election result, a majority of voters don’t put much trust in polls – and a plurality suspect pollsters were trying to help Democrat Kamala Harris’s campaign.
- Most voters believe the checks and balances of the Constitution are still working, but nearly three-quarters of Democrats believe President Donald Trump has become a “fascist” dictator.
- Three months into her tenure as America’s top law enforcement official, Attorney General Pam Bondi has made a more favorable impression on voters than her predecessor.
- The president earned a monthly job approval of 49% in April, down two points from March.
- The Rasmussen Reports Immigration Index for April increased to 109.3, up more than 12 points from 96.6 in January.
- The Reddit website is useful for keeping up with current events, according to most of those who use the platform.
- Forty-two percent (42%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
