Trump got some devastating poll news, given his disdain for former President Joe Biden: a majority of Americans now say he's doing a worse job than Biden did.
That’s actually how it is supposed to work. Police arrest criminals. If they turn out to be undocumented then ICE is called. Now frame that question in a way that asks if they support what ICE is actually doing, which is harassing people based on ethnicity, yanking random people off the street, holding people in deplorable concentration camps, kicking in doors based on memos they call warrants, beating and gassing protestors, and murdering legal observers.
If they could stick with that, then it’d be a good*-sounding* idea – who doesn’t want to deport criminals who immigrated from somewhere else to be violent?
Sadly they’re as incompetent as they are violent, and they can’t even deliver on that since they don’t even know the how of due process; or the why. It’s a “best I can do is gestapo” kind of situation. And for that, they need a Nuremberg. And lots of rope.
The word “criminal” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I would expect local law enforcement to arrest criminals. I would then expect them to be deported. It doesn’t mean people want local police to help ICE with their terrorist bullshit.
Huh. I see that now. I live in the SF Bay Area and it’s kind of a bubble here but some of those poll numbers are hard to believe. I’d be curious to know how their polling was conducted, I didn’t see any info on that. Maybe the rest of the country really is that fucked up, idk.
The January Harvard CAPS / Harris poll survey was conducted online within the United States on January 28-29, 2026, among 2,000 registered voters by The Harris Poll and HarrisX.
That’s the only bit on methodology I saw in there, which isn’t much at all.
2/3rds of this country are absolutely just fucking assholes.

I think the framing of “criminal illegal immigrants” fucks with that data.
In every poll I’ve seen asking about how Trump’s immigrant genocide is going, the numbers are far lower. Still far too high, but far lower.

Really hoping for a Nuremberg. I’ve got rope to donate to the cause.
And stupid

Falls in line with two thirds of the country being okay with Trump being president.
I didn’t see that statement in the article, where are you getting 67% from?
From the original poll itself that the article linked to.

I read this in the original article:
And I wanted to know what policies were supported.

Ah ok. Good to know, thanks.
