Trump's immigration agenda remains his biggest political strength: What the latest poll shows
While immigration remains relatively resilient, Trump's economic ratings have deteriorated significantly. Only 32% of Americans approve of his handling of the economy, compared with 40% at the beginning of his second term.
Donald Trump's immigration policies continue to be his most politically advantageous issue, according to a recent AP-NORC poll. While Americans' approval of his handling of immigration has declined from 49% to 39%, it still outperforms other topics such as the economy, healthcare, and Iran. Among Republicans, support for Trump's immigration policies remains strong, with around 80% approving.
However, many Americans believe his enforcement measures have gone too far, with half disapproving of deportations and a similar percentage disapproving of restricting legal immigration. ICE enforcement is also unpopular, with half of Americans disapproving of how ICE handles immigration laws. Despite these concerns, immigration remains a key issue for Trump as he heads into the November midterm elections, with Republicans being the most supportive.
