This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported.

That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office.

On immigration generally, he's at 41-57[/quote]

I was coming to post the same thing. Here are some other findings of the same poll listed under topic areas and a link to the poll results and questions.

ICE

Voters 56 - 39 percent disapprove of the way U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, is doing its job.

Republicans (77 - 17 percent) approve of the way ICE is doing its job, while Democrats (89 - 9 percent) and independents (64 - 32 percent) disapprove of the way ICE is doing its job.

LOS ANGELES PROTESTS

Voters 55 - 43 percent disapprove of President Trump's decision to send National Guard troops to respond to protests in Los Angeles.

Voters 60 - 37 percent disapprove of President Trump's decision to send U.S. Marines to respond to protests in Los Angeles.

TRUMP JOB APPROVAL

Forty-one percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 54 percent disapprove. This compares to Quinnipiac University's June 11 poll when 38 percent approved and 54 percent disapproved.

In today's poll, Republicans (87 - 9 percent) approve, while Democrats (92 - 6 percent) and independents (64 - 31 percent) disapprove.

TRUMP'S HANDLING OF SEVEN ISSUES

POLITICALLY MOTIVATED VIOLENCE

Ninety-one percent of voters think that politically motivated violence in the United States today is either a very serious problem (54 percent) or a somewhat serious problem (37 percent), while 8 percent think it is either a not so serious problem (6 percent) or not a problem at all (2 percent).

MOST URGENT ISSUE

Given a list of nine issues and asked which is the most urgent one facing the country today, preserving democracy in the United States (24 percent) ranks at the top, followed by the economy (19 percent), immigration (18 percent), and international conflicts (15 percent). No other issue reached double digits.

In Quinnipiac University's polls on January 29 and March 13, the economy topped the list.

DEMOCRACY

Nearly half of voters (49 percent) think the system of democracy in the United States is not working, while 43 percent say it is working.
Among those voters who think the system of democracy in the United States is not working, 60 percent blame the Republicans, while 15 percent blame the Democrats. Twenty percent volunteered that they blame both the Republicans and the Democrats and 3 percent volunteered that they blame neither party.

A vast majority of voters (73 percent) do not think democracy in the United States will end in their lifetime, while 17 percent think democracy in the United States will end in their lifetime.

REPUBLICAN TAX & SPENDING BILL

Seventy-one percent of voters say they have heard or read either a lot (36 percent) or some (35 percent) about the Republican tax and spending bill named One Big Beautiful Bill Act, while 28 percent say they have heard or read either not too much (12 percent) or not much at all (16 percent) about the bill.

Fifty-five percent oppose the bill, while 29 percent support it, with 16 percent not offering an opinion.

This compares to Quinnipiac University's June 11 poll, when 53 percent of voters opposed the bill, 27 percent supported it, and 20 percent did not offer an opinion.

Voters are split on one of the bill's measures that would require new qualifications to receive health insurance through Medicaid. The change would require able-bodied adults under 65 years old who are not disabled to prove they are working or volunteering at least 80 hours a month. Forty-seven percent of voters support the measure, while 46 percent oppose it.
