Overview
- CNN data analyst Harry Enten reported that ICE now holds a net approval rating of −17 points, a 17-point decline from its standing during Trump’s first term.
- Trump’s net approval on immigration is −16 after a 19-point slide in less than a year, according to the latest CNN polling.
- A plurality in new surveys favors abolishing ICE, based on figures highlighted in Enten’s on-air analysis.
- Fifty-one percent say ICE enforcement makes cities less safe versus 31 percent who say more safe, with 59 percent of city residents seeing less safety, CNN/SSRS finds.
- Polling cited by CNN shows a majority now believes Trump has gone too far in deportations, and separate surveys show strong support for criminally charging the ICE agent involved in the shooting.
