Trump retains strong Republican support on immigration as poll shows
An AP‑NORC poll finds that 39% of U.S. adults approve of President Donald Trump’s handling of immigration, down from 49% at the start of his second term. Among Republicans, approval remains high, with about eight‑in‑ten backing his immigration policies, a modest decline from roughly nine‑in‑ten earlier in the term. Republicans also rate Trump’s immigration stance more favorably than his handling of the economy or Iran.
The survey shows that roughly half of all U.S. adults believe Trump has "gone too far" in deporting illegal immigrants, and 47% say he has exceeded his authority. The poll notes at least ten deaths have occurred in ICE encounters since the current mass‑deportation campaign began.
