Overview

• A Quinnipiac University survey shows 64 percent of registered voters now prefer granting undocumented immigrants a pathway to legal status, up from 55 percent in December.
• Support among Republicans for legal status rose nine points to 31 percent and independents’ backing climbed 14 points to 71 percent over the same period.
• President Trump’s approval on immigration stands at 41 percent—his lowest mark of the second term—while 57 percent of voters disapprove of his handling of the issue.
• Fifty-six percent of respondents disapprove of ICE’s enforcement tactics, reflecting public unease over expanded raids and deportation targets.
• The mounting shift in public sentiment and deepening disapproval of enforcement strategies threatens to erode Trump’s core immigration agenda and influence upcoming policy debates.
