ICE’s approval rating among Americans currently sits at negative 13 points, a recent poll revealed.
More Americans support abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency than at any point since it was established in 2003, new polling shows.
According to data examined by Civiqs, 42% support getting rid of the agency while 50% oppose doing so, a split of just 8 points. This represents a major shift from a year ago, at the start of Donald Trump’s second term, when only 24% of Americans supported abolishing ICE and 59% opposed the idea, a 35-point split.
The 27-point change over the past year comes as Trump uses the agency to terrorize immigrant communities and overrun U.S. cities in the name of his mass deportation campaign, often using tactics that are not only harmful but illegal.
I’m so tired of hearing about polling data.
Yeah everything being almost a clear 50/50 split between should we have a democracy or should we be fascists is not good.
With 3-8% undecided
“A little more than half of Americans are wondering whether things are sub-optimal!”
“A fraction of Americans think politics are headed in a direction.”
“Does garlic salt make you more gayer-er? One Florida man feeds their alligator to find out.”
Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought “does everything have to be a poll?”
It’s like those Japanese gameshows with a “reaction” window of the “famous talent” so everyone is told how the action on screen is supposed to make them feel.
I mean data is good, right? “Knowledge is power”? Maybe it’s the engineer in me but getting many snapshots in time and seeing the trends is kind of important. I’ll take this over anecdotal speculation any day.
