Stats of the Day: Poll on Immigration

 

A new Gallup poll suggests that the hateful Malignant Fascist and his sociopathic sidekick Stephen Miller are losing bigly on the issue of immigration. Seeing ICE thugs roughing up grandmothers and landscapers apparently doesn't go down well with a majority of Americans:

"Americans have grown markedly more positive toward immigration over the past year, with the share wanting immigration reduced dropping from 55% in 2024 to 30% today. At the same time, a record-high 79% of U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing for the country.

These shifts reverse a four-year trend of rising concern about immigration that began in 2021 and reflect changes among all major party groups.

With illegal border crossings down sharply this year, fewer Americans than in June 2024 back hard-line border enforcement measures, while more favor offering pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already in the U.S.

These findings are based on a June 2-26 Gallup poll of 1,402 U.S. adults, including oversamples of Hispanic and Black Americans, weighted to match national demographics.

The same poll finds many more Americans disapproving than approving of President Donald Trump’s handling of immigration. [snip] 

In addition to supporting increased or stable immigration levels, more Americans now favor offering undocumented immigrants pathways to citizenship, while fewer support stringent measures to deter or reverse illegal immigration. [snip]

Perhaps because of Americans’ opposition to immigration policies that Trump has enacted to remove undocumented immigrants from the U.S., their evaluation of his work on immigration is mostly negative. Thirty-five percent approve of his handling of the issue, including 21% strongly approving, while 62% disapprove, including 45% strongly." (our emphasis)

The MF and Miller have overreached in their white nationalist, racist zeal, as demonstrated in these poll numbers. The scenes of masked ICE goons chasing farm workers through the fields, and accosting people at their workplaces and clinics has apparently awakened some sense of outrage, better late than never.
