Overview
- An AP‑NORC poll conducted Feb. 5–8 finds about six in ten U.S. adults say President Trump has gone too far by sending federal immigration agents into cities and using federal law enforcement at protests.
- Independent voters show sharp movement: approval of Trump’s immigration handling fell to 23% from 37% last spring, with roughly seven in ten independents now saying he has gone too far.
- Republicans’ trust advantage on immigration has contracted to roughly four points, with about three in ten adults favoring each party and a similar share saying neither would do better.
- Trump’s overall job approval stands at 36% in the AP‑NORC survey, with Republican backing steady even as broader public unease persists over enforcement tactics.
- Border czar Tom Homan said the federal surge in Minnesota is being wound down after thousands of arrests and weeks of violent clashes in Minneapolis that included two U.S. citizens killed by federal agents.
