Immigration polls are bad news for Trump

By a huge margin, Americans reject Trump's and Stephen Miller's ideas about immigration.

Gallup reports that Trump is at a net -22%(!) approval rating on immigration (38% approve, 60% disapprove).That is the second lowest rating they've ever recorded for him, just behind -23% in August 2018 (38% approve, 61% disapprove).

Polls show immigration is becoming less of a concern for all Americans even Republicans. More people in the U.S. are starting to view immigrants as a positive thing for the country. The tide is turning and I think the midterms will show it. #Pinks#ProudBluenews.gallup.com/poll/692522/…

Trump approval on immigration even worse among independents in the new CNN poll: 35-65. Remarkable.

Amazing. New CNN poll has Trump's approval on immigration absolutely tanking. It's down to 42-58. A 19-point net swing against him on this issue in just the last few months.Curious what those who keep saying we're in the midst of a huge societal backlash to 1965 immigration law think of this

CNN: “Take a look at Trump's net approval rating on immigration… Bad to just downright terrible. The American people have turned against Trump on what was his best issue.”

Wording matters: U.S. public support for mass deportation in surveys ranged from 33% to 62%, @aedwardslevy.bsky.social found. Results varied greatly, depending on how the question was asked. http://www.cnn.com/2024/11/17/p…

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported.That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office.On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

Ah, I see that the "discount egg shopper" and "economic anxiety" crowd still approve of this admin's immigration policies.91% of Trump voters approve of his immigration policies. 91%.And the majority of white US people, voters or not, 56%, approve of these immigration policies.Embarrassing.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

NEW — Trump's eroding immigration approval rating follows an iron law of ICE enforcement: the more Americans see what it looks like, the less they tend to support mass deportation http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

Ceding an issue has never been a successful strategy. Immigration is not only good for America, it’s essential. Now that the rule of law and the Bill of Rights are in play, this is no time for timidity. It’s time to beat Trumpism on its own turf.

79% say immigration is good

Polls show Trump is unpopular

In our new poll with @verasight.bsky.social, immigration dominated the news for July, overshadowing economic issues. But despite Trump's positive numbers on border security, he's underwater on immigration and deportations — approval down to just 43%. Full poll http://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d…

Republicans want to gerrymander Texas again to undermine fair elections

They can’t even wait until 2030 when most states revise their districts.

Dems hold minorities in both Texas chambers. But, as promised, they're already doing what they can to delay and obstruct Republican efforts to steal the next election.www.texastribune.org/2025/07/21/t…

The Netanyahu debate at my alma mater

I graduated from Cheltenham High School in 1971. I am very opposed to Netanyahu’s policies.

Cheltenham School District officials & alumni association members met Friday & discussed a student petition to remove Bibi Netanyahu from the Hall of Fame, but didn’t make a decision.“Given the complexities involved & the heightened public discourse, we must proceed in a deliberate manner.”

You’re assuming Trump obeys laws. He has shown repeatedly that he will break or ignore the law. He’s a convicted felon. I expect Democrats to be favored to win the House in 2026. I expect Trump to try to oppose that by preventing or invalidating elections or declaring a bogus emergency.
