New Polls Show Voters Split on Immigration, With Half Backing Amnesty and Near-Equal Support for Mass Deportation

Overview

• On mass deportation, Rasmussen finds voters nearly even at 48% support and 47% opposition, including 69% support among Republicans and 65% opposition among Democrats.
• Assessments of Trump’s approach differ sharply, as 47% in Rasmussen say his immigration policies are too harsh and a Center Square/Noble poll shows 46% too harsh versus 39% about right.
• Demographic splits are pronounced, with higher amnesty support among Black (63%) and Hispanic (51%) voters and among younger adults, while men and older, higher‑income voters favor stricter enforcement.
