"COLLINS: Those comments from the Governor today, as federal agents have been seen using aggressive tactics, in recent days, against residents and protesters, as fallout has continued after the shooting death by an ICE agent of Renee Good, last week. CNN's Chief Data Analyst, Harry Enten, is here. Because Harry, I do think there are some really interesting numbers that are coming out, in terms of what we're seeing in the aftermath of this, of how Americans are feeling about what they're watching."
"We're talking about a negative 17-point approval rating. That is a 17-point drop from where we were during Trump's first term. Among Independents, the number is even lower in terms of the net approval rating. And why is it that ICE is so unpopular at this point? Well, take a look at our new CNN/SSRS poll, and I think this sort of gives the game away."
Support for ICE has plummeted to a net negative 17-point approval rating, a 17-point decline from Trump's first term. Independents show an even lower net approval. A plurality of Americans now favor abolishing ICE for the first time. Polls show overwhelming support for criminally charging ICE agent Jonathan Ross in the killing of Renee Nicole Good. CNN polling also shows double-digit drops in approval for President Donald Trump and ICE. Recent aggressive federal tactics and fallout from the shooting have influenced public opinion and diminished institutional support for immigration enforcement.
