Republicans’ 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.
- Federal deployments in recent weeks have led to violent clashes including two U.S. citizens killed, a vehicle chase ending in a crash in St. Paul, and anxiety among health workers over ICE presence.
- Partisan breakdowns show about 9 in 10 Democrats and 7 in 10 independents say Trump has `gone too far`, while about one-quarter of Republicans agree; half of Republicans say the actions are `about right` and approval among independents fell from 37% to 23%.
- Strategists note the shrinking Republican Party advantage on immigration is a warning sign that could push members to distance themselves ahead of midterm elections, despite Trump's steady approval recently.
- 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.
