Poll: Surprising ICE Approval Rates, Including from Latinos as Trump Steps Up Deportations
Another proof that the Left is irredeemably out of touch with reality is a recent Economist/YouGov poll, showing that most American voters, including Latinos, approve of Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Democrat leaders and celebrities have been crisscrossing the country and appearing on media to castigate Trump’s ICE for deporting illegal immigrants. Some pro-immigrant activists and legacy media also shared videos of desperate illegal aliens crying while being sent home – after having no sympathy whatsoever for the victims of illegal immigrants.
Nonetheless, it seems that the majority of American voters, most of whom disapproved of open borders and rejected Kamala Harris, have a different opinion.
According to a February the Economist/YouGov poll, 53 percent of “registered voters” approved of ICE, while over a third (37%) disapproved of the agency, and a tenth had no opinion. Overall, half of all American adults approved of ICE, while 35 percent disapproved, and 15 percent had no opinion.
Looking at the numbers, it seems that only roughly about a third of Americans disapprove of ICE. Yet, Democrats want to convince us that Trump’s deportations are extremely unpopular and will cause a national crisis. But it seems that American voters know better.
Genderwise, most men (57%) approve of ICE, while only 44% of women feel the same. Based on race, Trump’s ICE still performed well despite Democrats attempting to convince us that deportations were racist. Slightly more than half (51%) of white Americans and half (50%) of Hispanics approved of ICE, while just slightly below half (49%) of Black Americans perceived ICE positively.
Based on what some Black and Hispanic politicians have been saying, I expected single-digit numbers. However, it seems that Leftist politicians do not represent the interests of the ordinary American voter. Many Blue cities’ mayors have promised to fight the deportation of illegal aliens.
Another proof that Democratic voters are still drinking the Kool-Aid, only 36 percent of Harris voters approved of ICE, while over three-quarters (76%) of Trump voters did. Most voters who were concerned about border security voted for Trump, so this particular statistic is hardly surprising.
Even fewer (31%) Americans who describe themselves as “Liberal” approved of ICE, while half (50%) of moderates and almost three-quarters (74%) of Conservatives did, respectively. Nevertheless, it seems that some Democrats are embracing common sense because more Americans (39%) who vote blue approve of ICE. However, even more Independents (42%) and most (71%) Republicans approve of the federal agency.
On income, just slightly below half (47%) of people earning less than $50,000 approved of ICE, while over half (57%) of those earning between $50k and $100k and those whose income is over $100k approved of ICE. It seems that Democrats and the legacy media are wrong again and most Americans are tired of it.
