According to a new Quinnipiac University poll, support for providing a pathway to legality for undocumented immigrants has jumped among Republicans and independents in the six months since Co-Presidents Donald Trump and Stephen Miller took office. Democratic support has stayed the same.
Republicans still vastly support deportations of undocumented immigrants. But a 9-point shift in six months is nothing to sneeze at, either. Especially since that shift coincides with Trump and Miller moving into the White House.
Via The Hill (with my emphases added):
Today, 64 percent [of voters] say they prefer giving a path to legal status, while 31 percent prefer deportation, and 5 percent don’t know or didn’t answer.
That’s a significant change from a poll conducted in December, when 55 percent supported providing a pathway to legal status, 36 percent preferred deportation, and 9 percent didn’t know or skipped the question.
The overall uptick in support for a path to legal status is driven largely by an increase in support among Republicans and independents.
