Poll: Trump, ICE, One Big Beautiful Bill Flopping

 

The latest Quinnipiac poll asked about immigration policy, ICE tactics, the LA protests, and more.  The results don't bode well for the Malignant Fascist and his bully boys or his "One Big Beautiful Bill" (our emphasis): 

Nearly two-thirds of voters (64 percent) say they prefer giving most undocumented immigrants in the United States a pathway to legal status, while 31 percent say they prefer deporting most undocumented immigrants in the United States, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released today.

This is a change from roughly six months ago. In Quinnipiac University's December 18, 2024 poll, 55 percent of voters said they preferred giving most undocumented immigrants a pathway to legal status and 36 percent said they preferred deporting most undocumented immigrants in the United States...

At the same time, Americans have seen enough of the ICE goon squads and the LA protests to make their judgement:

Voters 56 - 39 percent disapprove of the way U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, is doing its job. [snip]

Voters 55 - 43 percent disapprove of President Trump's decision to send National Guard troops to respond to protests in Los Angeles.

Voters 60 - 37 percent disapprove of President Trump's decision to send U.S. Marines to respond to protests in Los Angeles. 

The Malignant Fascist's approval remains underwater:

Forty-one percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 54 percent disapprove. This compares to Quinnipiac University's June 11 poll when 38 percent approved and 54 percent disapproved. 

Americans also know who's responsible for the erosion of democracy:

Nearly half of voters (49 percent) think the system of democracy in the United States is not working, while 43 percent say it is working.

Among those voters who think the system of democracy in the United States is not working, 60 percent blame the Republicans, while 15 percent blame the Democrats. Twenty percent volunteered that they blame both the Republicans and the Democrats and 3 percent volunteered that they blame neither party.

And that regressive, cruel "One Big Beautiful Bill" (for billionaires)?

Seventy-one percent of voters say they have heard or read either a lot (36 percent) or some (35 percent) about the Republican tax and spending bill named One Big Beautiful Bill Act, while 28 percent say they have heard or read either not too much (12 percent) or not much at all (16 percent) about the bill.

Fifty-five percent oppose the bill, while 29 percent support it, with 16 percent not offering an opinion.

This compares to Quinnipiac University's June 11 poll, when 53 percent of voters opposed the bill, 27 percent supported it, and 20 percent did not offer an opinion. 

We're firm believers that the only polls that count are the ones we go to on Election Day (caveat: if we have them in the future). The MAGAts have been hard at work for years (with help from the Republican Supreme Court) tilting the table in their favor.  But fortunately, the majority of Americans voters -- at least now -- are against them.  That's something to work with, and now Democrats need to give them something to be for.
