How could only 55% of respondents answer positively on the last statement regarding detention and deportation of US citizens???? I assume that the 1000 folks that responded are US citizens. Do they want to be detained and deported? Who would want that for your fellow US citizens? Unreal!!
Thanks for the clear data and analysis. When the Democrats backed down on the shutdown last fall, part of the issue was that the Trump administration was illegally withholding SNAP benefits, which means that they were using a vulnerable section of the population (many children, disabled, and elderly) as a bargaining chip. I see why the Democrats ended that shutdown, but I wish they had waited until the Supreme Court would have had to issue a ruling on the emergency docket, which Brown-Jackson's order set up with a deadline.
With the current shutdown, the Democrats need to hold the line until meaningful and enforceable reform of ICE and Border Patrol is enacted. By all means, split off TSA and the Coast Guard and fund them, but there can be no compromise on ICE and Border Patrol.
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.
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.
I noticed a sign in a Sacramento protest gathering: Keep the immigrants, deport the rapists. Now that's a good idea.
GEM: Thanks for the analysis. May the Ds hold the line on every issue.

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?
Saw a photo from Idaho with a car that had "ICE deport all liberal white women" written on the back window.

Great analysis. I hope the Democrats listen to you or people with similar arguments.
I hope Dems hold the line.
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
Great, thanks
I thought that lesson was learned after 2016.

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