The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday
It’s too early to measure the impact of last night’s final presidential debate, but Republican Donald Trump now has a three-point lead nationally in the latest White House Watch survey.
Just 24% of voters, however, say they’ve changed the way they were going to vote after watching the debates between presidential candidates.
Most voters continue to have unfavorable opinions of the two major party candidates for president.
Nearly half of all voters still say their choice this presidential election will be the lesser of two evils, although Trump supporters feel that way more strongly than Clinton voters do. Fortunately for both major party candidates who have been beset with questions about their honesty, most voters put their policy positions ahead of their character.
Democrats, however, are nearly twice as likely as Republicans to think their presidential nominee will help congressional candidates in their party.
(More below)Trump is calling for term limits for members of Congress. Voters have strongly supported limiting congressional terms in surveys for years.
Just 17% of GOP voters believe the job Republicans have done in Congress will help Trump’s bid for the presidency. That compares to 48% of Democratic voters who say Democrats’ performance in Congress will help Clinton.
