A recent survey has shown a drop in public support for Donald Trump's immigration policies. The poll, conducted over four days, found that only 38% of respondents approved of his handling of immigration. This is a decrease from the previous month and a significant drop from the early days of his return to the White House. The decline in support is particularly noticeable among men, a key demographic in Trump's 2024 election victory. In the latest poll, only 41% of men approved of Trump's immigration policies, down from nearly 50% earlier in the year. Among women, support has also decreased, with only 35% approving of his actions on immigration.
Trump's administration has faced criticism for its aggressive deportation policies, which have led to violent clashes between immigration agents and protesters. In a rare reversal, the administration recently agreed to end a controversial deportation surge in Minnesota, where two U. S. citizens were fatally shot by immigration agents. Overall, Trump's approval rating has remained low, with only 38% of respondents approving of his performance in the latest poll. This is unchanged from the previous survey conducted in late January. The poll, which was conducted online and nationwide, gathered responses from 1, 117 U. S. adults and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
