June 26, 2023: Ten days after the agreement was reached, just 54% of voters were aware of that fact. This is despite 69% of voters saying they were at least somewhat closely following news about the debt ceiling.

Among those who know an agreement has been reached, 59% have a favorable opinion of that agreement, including 10% who have a very favorable one. Thirty-one percent (31%) have an unfavorable opinion of it.

Methodology

The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on June 13-15, 2023. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the -sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.

The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.
