'Remarkable': Analyst stunned as new poll hits Trump on his top campaign issue

President Donald Trump is underwater with Americans who no longer trust him on the issue of immigration, which was one of his top two issues during the 2024 campaign. It comes days after polls showed that voters no longer trust him to act in the interest of national security.

In a post on X, The New Republic's Greg Sargent pointed to a newly released Quinnipiac poll, which finds a 14-point swing among Americans who want to give undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship instead of deporting them. Only 31% of Americans want to see immigrants deported. Just a few short months ago, Americans were evenly split on whether they wanted to support immigrants living in the United States.

"This is remarkable," Sargent wrote about the poll.

Sargent also pointed out just "how badly the media botched" the story about where Americans stood on immigration.

1. Think of what those poll numbers would be like

if only we had national media reporting the actual realities of what Trump and his minions are actually doing to the fabric of this country.

2. I think word of mouth is working. Attacking regular people,

like Trump and the Oligarchs have and will do, will do that.

19. Exactly!

[Quiet Em]

3. His numbers with women are awful on this issue

70% of women support a pathway to citizenship, only 24% of women want deportations.

On almost every issue it is men that keep him floating. His numbers with women are bad. Really bad.

4. Depends on the poll and how it's asked.

Immigration was a flashpoint going into the 2024 presidential election, and it remains President Donald Trump's strongest issue in a recent poll.

A NBC News Decision Desk Poll released June 15, conducted along with SurveyMonkey, found that 45% of Americans approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, while 55% disapprove. Those figures remain unchanged from an NBC News survey in April. (The survey was conducted among 19,410 adults nationwide between May 30 and June 10. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.1 percentage points.)

According to the survey, 51% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of border security and immigration, while 49% disapprove, the exception to his negative overall rating.

7. Rogan and many of the Trump friendly podcasters don't approve

That’s probably more of a leading indicator of unpopularity than polls.

5. Kick

[Johonny]

6. Media lists Trump as a populous

But he is not popular and neither is his agenda

[Marthe48]

8. He's a pustule

n/t

[groundloop]

10. Poll numbers don't matter to a dictator

[Skittles]

13. they actually do, to this one

but he will call it FAKE NEWS

[BaronChocula]

11. What's remarkable is

the stupidity of the people who voted for mass deportation who are against mass deportation.

[Skittles]

12. my first thought

how fucking STUPID do people have to be to have EVER trusted that con man, UGH!!!

[Dave Bowman]

18. I first started to hear about him in the mid 80s and already knew that he was a crook.

So yeah, stupid and wilfully ignorant.

[Lonestarblue]

14. Perhaps they bought the lie that the people Biden let in were all criminals.

But at least some balked when they realized that farm workers, landscapers, house cleaners, the people who ran their favorite Mexican restaurant, people they knew and liked were also targets and were being deported and sent to prisons for life when they had no criminal records, and indeed included children who are US citizens.

[calguy]

15. I don't think trump cares about it one iota

He’ll never face the voters again, and if he gets his way, he’ll try to suspend elections and make himself permanent president for life.

[Ping Tung]

16. I share this thought...

I have to remind myself of this often. That most people around the world live their lives without killing other people or even harming them in malicious ways. I've seen violence and cruelty but those occasions are rare compared to what most people experience.

[progressoid]

17. Sargent also pointed out just "how badly the media botched".....

Sargent also pointed out just "how badly the media botched" (fill in the blank).

Our media sucks ass.

[Bluetus]

20. The media has been disconnected from where the public stands for many years now

They should get out more.

[llmart]

21. "President Trump is underwater"

If only that were true. You just know that tub of lard wouldn't float.

[liberalla]

22. "how badly the media botched" the story...

Now THAT is the real story!
and it happens again and again...

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. Did the media really botch it? IMO, no. They handled it just like Krasnov wanted.

Like those now-disgraced law firms, they were terrified that King Taco would sic Blondi on them.
