Quinnipiac poll shows some very positive movement on attitudes toward immigration:
Nearly two-thirds of voters (64 percent) say they prefer giving most undocumented immigrants in the United States a pathway to legal status, while 31 percent say they prefer deporting most undocumented immigrants in the United States, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released today.
This is a change from roughly six months ago. In Quinnipiac University’s December 18, 2024 poll, 55 percent of voters said they preferred giving most undocumented immigrants a pathway to legal status and 36 percent said they preferred deporting most undocumented immigrants in the United States.
61% of Republicans still prefer deporting them but that’s less than I would have expected. And the public at large is clearly appalled.
It’s not a lot to hang on to because Trump only cares about that 61% and his administration cares nothing for public opinion at all. So I’m not sure it makes any difference.
Still, we have to take the good news where we can find it….
