This document provides a summary of findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for Reuters between January 26-30, 2018. A total of 1,856 Americans were surveyed online, including 804 Democrats, 632 Republicans, and 265 Independents. The poll measured approval ratings for President Trump and other political figures, as well as opinions on important issues facing the country. The summary also describes the methodology used, including how the data was weighted and margins of error.
10% of Americans perceive crime as the number one issue facing America, a 4-point increase from the beginning of the year, while President Trump's approval rating remains steady.
With Congressional Republicans on the verge of passing the largest tax reform bill in decades on Wednesday, overall Congressional approval remains low (21%). Self-identified Democrats are particularly disapproving of Congress giving the institution a 16% approval rating. Rank and file Republicans are a little more positive, but even they only give Congress a 30% approval score.
Echoing Congress, President Trump's approval rating also remains near its record low level, this week at 35%. However, Republicans continue to back the President in large numbers, currently at 76% approve.
The broad antipathy to Congress and the President is potentially fueling Democratic disgruntlement to the tune of a 12-percentage point advantage on the 2018 generic Congressional ballot question. Currently, 39% of Americans would vote for a Democrat versus 27% voting for a Republican if the midterms were held today.
Healthcare (17%), terrorism (15%), and the economy (11%) remain the top three issues facing the US today, with party lines continuing to dictate priorities. Nearly a quarter of Democrats (22%) believe healthcare is the most important problem facing the US, while a similar percentage of Republicans (23%) count terrorism as the most important.
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%).

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%).
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.
President Trump’s approval has dropped slightly and is now at 35% - although it remains significantly higher than Congress’ approval rating of 21%.
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%). Republicans also say healthcare is their top issue (19%), although immigration (16%) has recently increased in importance among this group, up 5 points from last week (in contrast, immigration is seen as less critical among Democrats (6%) and Independents (5%)).
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%).
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%).
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 rating has plateaued in recent weeks, now at 37% approving and 58% disapproving of the way he is doing his job as President. While these rating naturally fall out along party lines, the data shows just a third of Independents (34%) indicating approval of the President.
Also in line with recent weeks, two thirds of Americans (65%) currently believe the US is on the wrong track and under a quarter (23%) think things are heading in the right direction. When it comes to the most important problems facing the country, 16% say healthcare, closely followed by terrorism (14%) and the economy (11%).
Following a bump in approval last week, President Trump’s job approval has dropped back down to pre-Harvey/Irma levels, now at 35% (down from 40% last week). Trump’s numbers have also dropped across all specific policy areas. Notably, as the Republicans begin to broach tax reform, Trump’s approval on the US economy dropped by 5 points from 47% last week to 42%. Despite the drop, Trump still enjoys higher approval than Congress, which is now at 24%.
Healthcare continues to be top of mind for Americans (17%), distantly followed by the economy (12%) and terrorism (12%). Concern about the environment rose one point from 4% last week to 5% this week.

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.
