Domenico Montanaro:
Yes, I mean, in reality, views of immigration are much more nuanced than sometimes the political debate lends itself to be. Republicans feel very strongly one way. Democrats feel very strongly another way.
When we look directly at deportation policies and whether or not they’re making the country more safe, less safe, or not having any impact, you can see there 43 percent say that Trump’s deportation policies are making the country safer, 33 percent say less safe, a quarter say no impact at all.
When it comes to how that breaks down by party, as we were talking about, 81 percent of Republicans think that his policies are making the country safer. Only 17 percent of Democrats are, with just 34 percent of independents as well saying that they think that his policies are making the country safer.
