"Driving the news: A YouGov poll of over 2,600 U.S. adults on Jan. 7, found people don't like the way ICE operates. About 52% either somewhat or strongly disapproved of how ICE was handling its job, compared to 39% who somewhat or strongly approved. Just 27% said the agency's tactics were "about right" compared to 51% who called them "too forceful". Another 10% said they were "not forceful enough." A 44% plurality of adults approved of recent ICE protests, while 42% disapproved."
"By the numbers: ICE had a +16 net approval rating last February at the start of Trump's second term, according to YouGov. That rating cratered over the year to -14 as the administration's immigration policies - including Stephen Miller's plan to arrest ideally 3,000 people per day - took hold. Zoom in: The YouGov poll also showed nearly 6 in 10 Americans (58%) believe there's a war or conflict happening in U.S. cities."
A YouGov poll of over 2,600 U.S. adults on Jan. 7 reports 52% somewhat or strongly disapprove of how ICE handles its job, while 39% approve. Only 27% say ICE tactics are "about right," 51% call them "too forceful," and 10% say "not forceful enough." A 44% plurality approved recent ICE protests versus 42% who disapproved. ICE's net approval fell from +16 to -14 over a year amid aggressive immigration policies. Support for abolishing ICE rose from 19% in September 2024 to 42% now, with 69% of Democrats in favor.
