More Americans are agreeing with Donald Trump.
According to a recent Fox News poll, two-thirds of voters now support deporting all migrants who are in the country illegally. Trump says he will carry out mass deportations on day one of his presidency.
From Fox News:
The latest Fox News Poll, released Thursday, finds two-thirds of voters favor such a policy – exactly where it was last December and up 15 points since the question was first asked in 2015. Nearly one-third opposes mass deportations.
Since 2015, support for deporting those living in the U.S. illegally is up across the board, but most notably among nonwhite voters (+24 points favor), Republicans (+21 points), rural voters (+20), urban voters (+19), and men (+16). Democrats are also more likely to favor this now but by a smaller 8-point margin.
At the same time, support for allowing illegal immigrants with jobs to stay in the country and apply for legal status is decreasing. Fifty-eight percent of voters favor allowing those with jobs to stay, down 4 points from last year and 10 points since 2015.
While support for allowing those with jobs to stay and apply for legal status is down among most demographics, Republicans are the driving force behind the dip – down 28 points from a decade ago. Democrats are the opposite; they are more likely to favor allowing them to stay by 4 points.
Immigration has been one of three top issues this election cycle, along with abortion and the economy (the top issue). The new Fox News survey is no different: 40% put the economy at number one, followed by 17% for immigration, and 15% for abortion. No other issue reaches double digits.
Former CNN analyst Chris Cillizza recently cited similar pro-deportation polls from Scripps and CBS; “This is how Trump wins,” he said in a post to X.
A new @scrippsnews poll find 54% of voters support the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.
A CBS poll in June put the number at 62%.
It’s now clear that a majority of the public supports this proposal.
This is how Trump wins. But can he stay on message??
