"In 2018 Democrats had an edge of about 6 points on immigration. Now look at that, Republicans are the ones who actually have an edge on immigration. So this whole idea that Democrats are going to be able to take advantage of the immigration issue actually doesn't bear itself out in the polling despite everything that's been going on."
"You put immigration with border security and the idea that Democrats will be able to take the ball and run away on it, the polling data suggests, no! No! No! This is actually an issue that Republicans should be more comfortable running on than Democrats."
"At this point in his presidency, Biden was at just 34%. Donald Trump looks a whole heck of a lot better when you compare him to the alternative at 45%."
CNN data analyst Harry Enten presented polling data showing Republicans have gained substantial ground on immigration and border security issues. In 2018, Democrats held a 6-point advantage on immigration; currently, Republicans lead. On border security, Republicans increased their advantage from 13 points in 2018 to 15 points now. Despite recent high-profile immigration incidents in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, Democrats have failed to capitalize on the issue politically. Trump's approval rating on immigration stands at 45%, significantly outpacing Biden's 34% at the same point in his presidency. Enten concluded that immigration represents a stronger issue for Republicans than Democrats in upcoming elections.
