Trump's deportation program nets positive approval
[CBS News] Views of the Trump administration's deportation program headed into this weekend with positive net approval from Americans, including continued strong backing from the Republican base — but also heavily shaped by contrasting views about which people, and how many, are being targeted for deportation.
I participatedd in the YouGov poll that was the basis of the article and it was a beautiful example of 'push polling'. As usual for the MSM, the word 'illegal' was never included with 'immigrant'
The survey was completed just prior to Saturday's protests and events in Los Angeles.
On balance, more people see the program making the U.S. safer, compared to less safe.
Their nod to 'balanced coverage'. But there is plenty of ammunition in the article for Trump-bashers.
For the Americans who feel the administration is trying to deport more people than they expected, they're less approving of the program.
See? It's about the feelz.
Support for new tariffs in general remains net negative. Americans continue to think they will lead to higher prices at least in the short run, and often in the long run too. That's generally been the case for a while.
Here again, more people like what they think are Trump's goals with tariffs than his approach.
A lot of data to be spun.
