US EditionRepublicans’ edge on immigration shrinks as independents balk at Trump’s tactics, AP-NORC poll shows
An AP-NORC poll shows Trump’s immigration advantage shrinks to a 4-point GOP lead as about 6 in 10 independents say he has gone too far with federal agents in cities.
- On Feb. 5 the AP-NORC poll found about 6 in 10 U.S. adults say President Donald Trump has 'gone too far' by deploying federal immigration agents, based on a 1,156-adult AmeriSpeak sample.

- A Minnesota survey recently found about two-thirds of Minnesota adults view ICE negatively and believe federal tactics have 'gone too far,' according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.
