Poll: Trump deportation program nets positive approval, contrasting views on scope
Read Original Source
Views of the Trump administration's deportation program headed into this weekend with positive net approval from Americans, including continued strong backing from the Republican base — but also heavily shaped by contrasting views about which people, and how many, are being targeted for deportation. A slight majority feel the administration's deportation efforts are prioritizing people they believe are dangerous criminals.
AI Summary
Main Idea: A CBS News poll finds President Donald Trump’s deportation program has net positive approval, but support depends on whether Americans think it targets dangerous criminals and on how many people they think are being deported.
Key Points:
- Americans who believe the program focuses on dangerous criminals are much more supportive and more likely to say it makes the U.S. safer.
- Support drops sharply among people who think Trump is deporting more people than they expected, and many of them want more due process.
- Most Americans oppose wrongful deportations of legal residents, and many also think the program will hurt the economy.
- Trump gets his strongest marks from Republicans on immigration, while Democrats doubt their party can effectively challenge his policies.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
More deportations could scare immigrant families, disrupt workplaces, and create mistakes that harm legal residents.
Positive Impact
Supporters say the policy could make communities feel safer if it targets dangerous criminals.
