Poll shows support for Trump agenda
A new survey shows that many Americans, even some who dislike President-elect Donald Trump, embrace his strict immigration agenda and favor a more limited U.S. role overseas, The New York Times reported.
Many Americans appear to be rallying behind Trump’s tough stance on immigration and willingness to scale back international commitments, according to a new poll by The New York Times and Ipsos.
The survey of 2,128 adults, conducted from Jan. 2 to 10, found that 55 percent of Americans either strongly or somewhat support “mass deportations” of people living in the United States without authorization.

About 46 percent favor imposing tariffs on nations such as China and Mexico, and 71 percent said no one under 18 should be prescribed puberty-blocking drugs or hormones.
“Something needs to happen on immigration,” said Jose Hernandez, 48, of Atlanta, who described himself as a Mexican immigrant. “I’m an immigrant myself, from Mexico, but I waited 25 years. I came to this country legally.” He added, “There’s no control over the system.”
Though Hernandez said he has generally voted for Democratic candidates, he backed Trump in 2024 mainly as a vote “against Kamala” and described conditions at the border as “unsustainable.”
...
I believe that one of the reasons the Democrats lost across the board in 2024 is Biden's open border policy which allowed ten to twenty million illegals into the country. I note that some illegals are now going back to their country of origin since Trump was elected. The US should prioritize immigration that benefits the country and not just let anyone in.
