Poll: Americans more confident in Republicans on key issues
A Reuters/Ipsos national poll conducted Sept. 19–21, 2025 finds more U.S. adults say Republicans, rather than Democrats, have better plans to handle top problems. The GOP led on crime (40% vs. 20%), held an 18-point advantage on immigration and a 12-point edge on foreign conflicts, and a 10-point advantage on the economy — even as a majority view the economy as on the wrong track and President Trump's economic approval remains modest.
