Trump's immigration approval hits new low, according to Reuters/Ipsos poll

Approval of Trump’s immigration policies drops to 38%, with support among men falling from 50% to 41%, signaling weakening backing from key voter groups, Reuters/Ipsos poll shows.

  • On Feb. 17, Reuters/Ipsos found just 38% approve of President Donald Trump's handling of immigration in its Feb.13-16 poll, the lowest level since he returned to the White House.
  • Immigration and Customs Enforcement pulled officers from Minneapolis after agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens, prompting protests and scrutiny.
  • The Reuters/Ipsos survey sampled 1,117 U.S. adults, showing support among men dropped to 41%, and CNN's Harry Enten said `When you lose the center of the electorate, you lose the American people.`
  • If the trend continues, upcoming polls will be closely watched for further erosion as campaigns shift into full 2026 midterm mode, affecting control of the House and Senate.
  • Across pollsters, data show second-term lows for Trump, with Nate Silver's aggregation indicating a net approval of minus 15, and AP-NORC, RCP, and The New York Times confirming broad erosion.
