Trump’s immigration policy splits Americans in half, poll says

Immigration long has divided the United States.  So it should be no surprise that the latest poll results show that the nation is divided on immigration.

As reported by PBS NewsHour, more than half of Americans say they disapprove of how President Donald Trump has handled of immigration, according to the latest poll from the PBS NewsHour, NPR and Marist. Fifty-two percent of U.S. adults surveyed disapproved of Trump’s actions on immigration. Another 44 percent of respondents said they approve of the president’s work on the issue, with an additional 4 percent saying they were unsure.

The partisan divisions on immigration are clear:  91 percent of Republican respondents said they back the president on the issue, compared to just 42 percent of people who described themselves as politically independent and 14 percent of Democrats.
