US EditionRepublicans’ edge on immigration shrinks as independents balk at Trump’s tactics, AP-NORC poll shows
An AP-NORC poll shows 6 in 10 independents say Trump has gone too far with immigration enforcement, narrowing the Republican advantage on the issue.
- On Feb. 5, the AP-NORC poll of 1,156 adults found the Republican Party's advantage on immigration shrunk to a 4-point gap since October.
- About 6 in 10 U.S. adults say President Donald Trump has `gone too far` sending federal immigration agents, a view sharpened by Minneapolis deployments and clashes that killed two citizens.
- Independents now report their approval of Trump's immigration handling fell from 37% in March 2025 to 23%, and only about 3 in 10 U.S. adults view ICE favorably, with independents closer to Democrats.

- Polling cautions emphasize greater variability when surveying independents and note views on immigration stayed steady over the past month at about 38% approval.
