Dramatic Shift in Public Opinion Favors Trump's Immigration Stance

Public Opinion Shifts on Trump's Immigration Stance: A Data-Driven Analysis Los Angeles, CA – Recent polls reveal a dramatic shift in public opinion regarding Donald Trump's immigration policies. Data from CBS, CNN, and IPSOS show a significant increase in his approval ratings, a stark contrast to his 2017 figures. This change is particularly noteworthy given the ongoing political climate and recent events in Los Angeles. "Trump's approval rating on immigration has gone up like a rocket," states CNN's Harry Enten in the video, highlighting the dramatic change from -21 points in June 2017 to +1 point currently. Enten's analysis dives into specific immigration actions, showing approval ratings above 50% for policies like deporting those illegally in the country and increased border security. The video further emphasizes the contrast in public perception between Democrats and Republicans. While Democrats show a modest increase in trust and closeness to the issue, Republicans demonstrate a significantly higher increase in positive sentiment. This is illustrated by the poll results: CBS shows a +6 point increase for Democrats and +19 points for Republicans; similar trends are seen in CNN and IPSOS polls. The situation in Los Angeles, where protests against Trump's immigration policies are occurring, provides a real-world context for this shift in public opinion, illustrating the complexities and emotional weight of the issue. The analysis suggests that Trump's stronger stance on immigration may be resonating with a significant portion of the electorate, particularly within the Republican party.
