Immigration Promises to be a Big Issue in the 2020 Presidential Election

According to a recent poll, immigration is one of the top issue to many Americans.  That should not be surprising in light of the many immigration controversies generated by the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies.

Donald Trump reached the highest job approval rating of his career in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll and runs competitively for re-election against four of five possible Democratic contenders. Yet he remains broadly unpopular across personal and professional measures, marking his vulnerabilities in the 2020 election.

The economy, health care and immigration top the public’s list of most important issues in the 2020 election, each cited by about eight in 10 Americans. Foreign policy, gun violence, issues of special interest to women and taxes make up the next tier, each called a top issue by about seven in 10. Abortion (highly important to 61%) and global warming (54%) follow.
