Mr. Morris - Off-topic and perhaps I missed it, but do you have anything to say about Gallup no longer tracking presidential approval ratings?

Good news overall — but only 55 percent oppose arresting and deporting U.S. CITIZENS?

A couple of thoughts/questions (just for my own education):

- is it possible that the impact of defunding ICE is blunted because CBP still has funding and will adopt ICE’s gestapo tactics?

- isn’t the judicial warrant question actually asking that these agencies follow the law/constitution? And yet support for that is only about 60%

- looking at the split between the parties, it strikes me that the average republican voter is just a monster. Their tolerance — or is strong approval a better description? — for cruelty is astonishing.

Great analysis. I hope the Democrats listen to you or people with similar arguments.

Funding FEMA. that's a good one. the regime isn't providing disaster relief. NOT EVEN TO RED VOTERS.

Does that DFP poll control for lower response rates among non college educated people? Seems like a question where that factor could be very relevant.

Yes, this is weighted by education

I thought that lesson was learned after 2016.

Good pollsters do it for election polling, but I'm not sure whether advocacy groups who are looking for a certain answer always do it for issue polling. Maybe they do, I genuinely don't know.

"Leverage" assumes they have certain Republican House or Senate members voting with them to provide them this power?
