When it comes to immigration and border security, (55%) of voters prefer Donald Trump's approach over Joe Biden's, while 31% disagree.
- Unsurprisingly, nearly 9 in 10 (89%) Republicans favor Trump's approach.
- While a significant majority of Democrats (61%) prefer Biden's approach, more than 1 in 5 Democrats (22%) prefer Trump's approach.
- Another 17% of Democrats aren't sure.
A majority (52%) who talk politics every day prefer Biden's approach. This group frequently feels differently than voters on issues.
Overall, 51% of Americans say it is good for the country that more immigrants left the country than entered this year.
- One third (33%) disagree.
- Again, an overwhelming 77% of Republicans say it is at least Somewhat Good. Just 9% say it was bad.
- And, once again, 58% of Democrats say it was bad for the country that more immigrants left than entered this year.
- However, a significant portion of Democrats (27%) say it was good for the country.
All of these numbers are consistent with the fact that, for decades, large majorities of Americans have said legal immigration is good, while illegal immigration is bad.
- Currently, 64% hold that view, while another 14% say all immigration (legal and illegal) is good.
- As noted in a recent story on voter attitudes towards ICE, voters support stopping illegal immigration. The discord is over the methods used to achieve this goal.
