Note: This information is rapidly developing and numbers are being adjusted accordingly. 

  • Half (50%) of voters now say that efforts to arrest and deport illegal immigrants are a bigger problem than government officials helping illegal immigrants avoid arrest.
    • A Napolitan News survey found that 43% hold the opposite view.
    • Initial data (seen below in the graphic) shows that this is essentially a flip from before the incident with Senator Alex Padilla.
  • A majority (53%) say that, if a warrant has been issued, a government official helping an illegal immigrant avoid arrest and escape should be arrested.
    • This question is designed to show a general attitude, and is not reflective of recent comments calling for Gov. Newsom's arrest. 
  • Regarding the riots in LA, voters are split on whether to blame Mayor Bass or President Trump. 
    • A narrow plurality (45%) blame Trump's decision to aggressively find and deport illegal immigrants. 

The most recent data cited is from a Napolitan News Service survey of 1,000 Registered Voters conducted online by Scott Rasmussen June 9, 2025. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. and has a margin of error of +/- 3.1.
