As armed, masked ICE agents violently snatch people off the streets without due process and disappear them to detention centers, Americans are running away from Donald Trump and Republicans on the issue of immigration in a huge reversal of a four year trend.

A new Gallup poll found huge changes in Americans’ feelings about immigration since Trump took office:

• 30% of Americans want immigration decreased, down from 55% a year ago

• Record-high 79% consider immigration good for the country

• Support down for border wall, mass deportation

Gallup notes that this is a reversal of “a four-year trend of rising concern about immigration that began in 2021 and reflect changes among all major party groups.”

A majority disapprove of Trump’s handling of immigration, with 35% approving of his handling of the issue, including 21% strongly approving, while 62% disapprove, including 45% strongly.
