Immigration remains a strong point for President Trump as he approaches the 100-day mark of his presidency; however, some feel his actions on the contentious topic have gone too far, according to recent polling.<\/p>\n
A new survey from\u00a0The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research<\/a>\u00a0found that 46 percent of U.S. adults generally approved of Trump’s actions on immigration, while 53 percent disapproved.\u00a0<\/p>\n His immigration rating was about 10 percentage points higher than the favorability he received on the economy and trade, which sat at 37 percent favorability each.<\/p>\n About half of those polled, 48 percent, said they think Trump may have crossed a line with his deportation policies and has “gone too far.” Meanwhile, 32 percent were satisfied, and 18 percent said they felt he hasn’t gone far enough.<\/p>\n The consensus was also split along party lines, with most Democrats believing he’s gone too far and most Republicans saying his actions have been “about right.”<\/p>\n Among the policy-specific questions included in the survey, respondents reacted the least favorably toward the revocation of student visas<\/a>, with 28 percent being in favor of the action, 24 percent being neutral and 47 percent expressing disapproval.<\/p>\n On Friday, the Trump administration restored more than 1,000 visas<\/a> to international students after facing several lawsuits.<\/p>\n In comparison, 41 percent of poll respondents favored sending Venezuelan immigrants the U.S. claims to be gang members to a prison in El Salvador, and 38 percent favored deporting all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, according to the poll.<\/p>\n Trump has signed multiple executive orders<\/a> and implemented several policies targeting immigration since his return to the White House, and his administration has deported 200 Venezuelan and Salvadoran men, prompting numerous challenges in court<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Associated Press-NORC nationwide poll was conducted April 17-21 nationwide via online and telephone interviews among 1,260 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Immigration remains a strong point for President Trump as he approaches the 100-day mark of his presidency; however, some feel his actions on the contentious topic have gone too far, according to recent polling.
