This document provides the results of an Ipsos poll conducted for Reuters from January 12-16, 2018. It surveyed 1,638 American adults, including 645 Democrats and 625 Republicans. The poll found that 30% of Americans feel the country is heading in the right direction, while 57% say things are on the wrong track. Healthcare was viewed as the most important problem facing the US by 17% of respondents. Approval of President Trump's job performance was at 39%, with 56% disapproving.
Terrorism (20%) and healthcare (19%) remain the top concerns of Americans. Democrats are most concerned with healthcare (27%) and terrorism (13%), while Republicans’ views have these flipped, with terrorism (29%) top, followed by healthcare (15%). Independents are equally concerned about both healthcare and terrorism (15%).
As he returns from his trip overseas, President Trump’s approval rating is at 37% this week, up two points from last week (35%). As Congress takes on finalizing tax reform plans, congressional approval remains low (19%). However, most Americans have a better perception of their actual representative (46%). Republicans are more likely to approve of Congress as a whole (28%), and their representative (56%), compared to Democrats (12% and 45% respectively). However, when asked how they would vote today if 2018 midterm elections were held today, more Americans choose a Democratic candidate (38%) than a Republican one (31%).
President Trump’s approval is now at 36%, essentially unchanged from last week (35%). Public approval of Trump’s handling of any of the issues of the day does not significantly exceed his overall approval. As Congress continues to struggle with tax reform, Trump’s approval on his handling of taxation has remained steady at 39%. With healthcare still a top priority among Americans (20%), Trump’s approval on his handling of healthcare reform is only 36%.
As both political parties prepare for the 2018 Midterms, overall approval of Congress is at 22%, half of the approval for individual Representatives (44%). The Democratic party (40%) leads the Republican party (31%) in the Generic Ballot Question. This 9-point lead is essentially unchanged over the last week.
Americans are again split on the next to leave the White House or Executive Branch according to the latest ‘Wh-Exit’ poll. While Rex Tillerson continues to top the list (15%), down nearly 10 points from 3 weeks ago (24% on Oct. 11). He’s closely followed by Jess Sessions, Attorney General (14%) and John F. Kelly, Chief of Staff (10%).
As Americans prepare for political debates around the Thanksgiving dinner table (or prepare to avoid them), two thirds continue to believe the US is on off on the wrong track (63%). While only 24% of Americans believe the US is heading in the right direction, partisan differences are stark with 52% of Republicans saying the country is headed in the right direction compared to 6% of Democrats.
Republicans and Democrats also do not see eye-to-eye on the main problem facing the country. More Democrats (24%) say it is healthcare while more Republicans (20%) say it is terrorism.
President Trump’s approval rating has remained steady, with 36% approving of him, but also is highly partisan. Three quarters of Republicans (75%) approve of the president compared to only 8% of Democrats. His strongest issues include employment and jobs (44%), dealing with ISIS/ISIL (44%) and the economy (42%). While Congress continues to debate tax reform, Trump has struggled to raise his approval on taxation (now at 36%, down from 40% last week).
One in five Americans guess that Jeff Session will be the next to resign or be terminated according to our latest ‘Wh-Exit’ poll.
Ipsos’ Generic Ballot Question for 2018 suggests that Democrats continue to enjoy a sizable advantage, up +9 points from Republicans (37% Democrat vs. 28% Republican). Independents are currently also breaking towards Democrats at 26% Dem vs. 14% Repub (with 16% other and 44% not voting).
With the holidays and President Trump's first major legislative win with Tax Reform, President Trump's approval rating rose to 41% this week, a 6-point increase from last week. Despite the passage of tax reform, just 41% of Americans approve of President Trump's handling of taxation and just a quarter of Americans (25%) approve of Congress as a whole. Americans are much more generous with their individual representatives, with 44% approving of their Congressperson.
Looking ahead to the 2018 midterm elections, a plurality of Americans (38%) report that if the election for U.S. Congress were held today they would vote for the Democratic candidate compared to those who would vote Republican (31%). Independents are split between a Democratic (15%), a Republican (14%) and third-party candidate (18%). Currently, just one-in-ten (11%) Americans report they would not vote.
Healthcare (18%) continues to top the charts of the most important problem facing America today, followed by terrorism (14%) and the economy (13%). Democrats are much more likely to view healthcare (25%) as a major concern, followed distantly by the economy (13%). Republicans view terrorism (22%) as the most important problem, followed by healthcare (13%). Independents are equally concerned with healthcare (16%) and the economy (16%).

President Trump’s approval rating remains at 37% this week. Trump continues to receive strong support from his Republican base (76%), but very little support from Democrats (11%). Trump’s approval ratings on individual policies remains consistent, with the highest ratings received on the US economy (46%), employment and jobs (48%), and dealing with ISIS/ISIL (46%).
More broadly, healthcare remains the top priority among Americans (22%), with concern especially high among Democrats (28%).

Americans continue to give Congress lackluster approval ratings with only 21% approving of the job Congress is doing. When asked about their representative specifically, Americans are more likely to approve of their individual work (44%). Republicans are the most satisfied with their Congressperson at 58%, but are not impressed with the Congress’ work as a whole (23%).
The past week has seen a notable reshuffle in the issues of most concern to Americans, with concerns about conflict and the economy climbing as healthcare wanes. Specifically, healthcare has dropped six percentage points to 16% of Americans naming it as the “most important problem facing the US today”. Concern about war and foreign conflicts (likely related to recent rhetoric regarding North Korea) both jumped six percentage points this week, tying with the economy – all at 11%.
The last seven days have also seen a marked decline in the proportion of Americans who believe the US is heading in the right direction, down to 24% (3 points down), with three fifths (60%) saying we’re on the wrong track. A significant majority of Independents now believe the US is on the wrong track, up 11 percentage points from last week. Over half of Republicans (52%) still believe we are heading in the right direction, down four percentage points since last week.

Let’s not cite the drop, just state what it is…
This week, 42% of all Americans approve of President Trump’s job performance. Registered voters are in line with the rest of the general public, with 44% approving of the job Trump is doing as president. Party lines continue to show division with one third of Independents (33%), 85% of Republicans, and just 14% of Democrats approving of Trump’s job performance.
Republicans and Democrats are neck and neck in this week’s generic ballot question – 33% of Americans would vote for a Democrat and 33% would vote for a Republican if the election were held today. Among registered voters, Democrats (39%) have a slight edge on Republicans (37%). Independents are evenly split between Republicans (15%), Democrats (17%) and a third party (18%).
Healthcare (16%) continues to be perceived as the most important problem facing America today. The economy (13%) is a close second to healthcare. Terrorism (11%) and morality (11%) are tied, and round out of the top issues.
Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, continues to lead the Wh’Exit Poll, with 17% of Americans reporting they believe he will be the next to resign or be fired from the White House. EPA Administrator, Scott Pruitt, is no longer perceived to be in the hot seat, with 10% of Americans reporting he will be next on the chopping block. Betsy Devos, Secretary of Education (10%) is tied for second place with Scott Pruitt.
After a week of promoting his infrastructure and budget proposals, President Trump’s approval rating stands at 39% among all Americans, one percentage point down from the previous week (40%).
President Trump’s approval rating is divided by party lines, with 80% of Republicans, 36% of Independents and just 10% of Democrats approving of Trump’s performance.
A new Ipsos global study to mark World Refugee Day 2020 finds widespread and increasing agreement among Americans that people should be able to take refuge in other countries, including in the United States, to escape war or persecution. It is a view now held by 72% of U.S. adults, up from 62% a year ago. Globally, public opinion about the right to seek refuge in other countries, including in one’s own, is nearly identical to what it is in the U.S.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
