Shift in Republican Support for Trump’s Immigration Policies Ahead of Midterms

Recent polling data indicates a significant decline in support for Trump’s immigration policies among Republican voters, with many expressing concerns over the aggressive tactics of ICE. A Fox News poll showed that 59% of voters believe ICE is operating too aggressively, marking a 10-point increase since earlier this year. As Trump faces record low approval ratings on immigration, there are reports of a bipartisan increase in support for abolishing ICE. This shift poses challenges for Republicans as they approach the midterms, where immigration, once considered a strong issue for the GOP, now appears to be a liability. Democrats are mobilizing around anti-ICE sentiments, suggesting a potential for immigration issues to sway pivotal battleground votes in their favor, especially amid protests against federal enforcement efforts.
