Reuters/Ipsos Data: Core Political (06/13/2018)
Washington, DC - President Trump’s approval rating stands at 41% this week among all Americans and 43% among registered voters. Most of our interviews were conducted before the “agreement” of the Singapore summit was announced, although our daily partial data indicates a small uptick in Trump’s job approval.
Democrats continue to lead the generic ballot question this week, with 40% of all Americans reporting that they would vote for a Democratic candidate if the November congressional elections were held today, compared to just 31% of Americans who report that they would vote for a Republican. The numbers are similar for registered voters, with 45% reporting they would support a Democrat compared to 35% who would support a Republican.
Healthcare remains at the top of the list of major problems facing America today – with 18% reporting it as the biggest problem in America. Continuing the trend of the last several weeks, economy generally (12%), immigration (11%), and terrorism (10%) round out the top four major issues facing America.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions (18%) continues to top the Reuters/Ipsos Wh’Exit poll, which asks Americans who they believe will be the next to quit or be fired from the White House. Administrator of the EPA, Scott Pruitt is not far behind Mr. Sessions, with 16% reporting that he will be next to go. Americans perceive other staff members as relatively safe.
About the Study
These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for Thomson Reuters June 8-12, 2018. For the survey, a sample of 2,373 Americans, including 2,018 registered voters, 904 Democrats, 793 Republicans, and 229 Independents ages 18+ were interviewed online. The precision of the Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.3 percentage points for all adults, 2.5 percentage points for registered voters, 3.7 percentage points for Democrats, 4.0 percentage points for Republicans, and 7.4 percentage points for Independents. For more information about credibility intervals, please see the appendix.
The data were weighted to the U.S. current population data by gender, age, education, and ethnicity. Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online polls. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error and measurement error. Figures marked by an asterisk (*) indicate a percentage value of greater than zero but less than one half of one per cent. Where figures do not sum to 100, this is due to the effects of rounding.
