| Another day marking a new record low for Republicans as a newly published Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that approval of Trump’s immigration policy has fallen to its lowest level. A majority of Americans say the president’s “crackdown on immigration has gone too far” and only 39% approve of his handling of immigration.
The low approval on immigration follows a series of bad polls that underscore how deeply unpopular the extreme, chaotic Republican agenda is with the American people. This Republican administration is failing across the board with Trump’s overall approval rating down to a mere 38%.
DCCC Spokesperson Bridget Gonzalez:
“As Trump’s immigration approval continues to collapse, one thing is clear: the American people are rejecting Republicans’ chaotic agenda and broken promises. House Republicans have chosen Trump over their constituents and they’ll answer for that in November.”
Reuters: Trump’s immigration approval drops to record low, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
- American approval of U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration policy fell to its lowest level since his return to the White House in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, with a majority of Americans saying his crackdown on immigration has gone too far.
- The poll, conducted nationwide Friday through Sunday, gathered responses before and after immigration officers on Saturday killed a second U.S. citizen in Minneapolis during confrontations with protesters over Trump’s deployment of immigration agents to cities across the U.S.
- Just 39% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration, down from 41% earlier this month, while 53% disapprove, the poll found. Immigration was a brighter spot for Trump’s popularity in the weeks following his January inauguration. In February, 50% approved and 41% disapproved.
- Trump administration officials have accused 37-year-old nurse, Alex Pretti, of assaulting officers during a protest in Minneapolis before an agent shot him dead, though that account has appeared at odds with videos recorded by bystanders. Weeks earlier in Minneapolis, an immigration agent shot dead 37-year-old Renee Good, another U.S. citizen, during an immigration raid.
