Biden immigration polling continues to tank
A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that President Biden’s overall job-approval rating has held steady — or even improved slightly — in recent weeks. Yet the same survey also found that on one specific issue, Biden’s numbers have never been worse.
That issue is immigration.
Just 31% of Americans now approve of how Biden is handling immigration — a new low. As recently as October, his approval on the issue was 35%; in previous Yahoo News/YouGov polls, it never slipped below 33%. Meanwhile, the share of Americans who disapprove of the president’s approach to immigration (55%) is higher than ever before, putting him underwater by 24 percentage points.
Across all 10 issues tested — including inflation, crime and the economy — immigration is now the most negative for Biden.
...
When “crisis” and “major problem” responses are combined, however, a clear consensus emerges, with 68% of Democrats, 69% of 2020 Biden voters, 70% of independents, 84% of Republicans and 90% of 2020 Trump voters all agreeing that the border is at least a major problem.
And while Republicans are more convinced that conditions have gotten worse (73%) rather than better (10%) since Biden took office, less than a quarter of Democrats (23%) say the situation has improved. More than 6 in 10 say it has either gotten worse (22%) or stayed the same (39%).
That means that on the whole, just 13% of Americans believe the border situation has improved under Biden.
...
Biden's abandonment of the Trump policies that were working to reduce illegal immigration was a mistake that he still will not acknowledge. I think people who want to immigrate to the US should follow the legal process. The failure to do so raises a question about their character and what kind of citizens they would be.
