Most Independents Believe The Trump Admin Is Mishandling Immigration And The Economy

Most independent Americans believe the Trump administration is mishandling immigration and the economy, according to a new poll. The survey, conducted by PRRI, showed that almost two thirds of independent respondents (65%) disagreed with the way in which the federal government and the economy are functioning. The figure for immigration clocked in at 57%, while that regarding the way the U.S. is dealing with other countries stood at 60%. Almost three in ten Republicans (29%) also disapproved of the first two questions, according to the poll, which surveyed more than 5,500 adults and has a margin of error of 1.79 percentage points. Axios noted that a recent AP-NORC poll also showed most Americans (69%) claiming the country is going in the wrong direction, and one from Gallup concluded that 67% of respondents are dissatisfied with the way in which things are going in the U.S. The PRRI poll noted in a passage of the survey that almost a quarter of Republicans (24%) believe the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction. It is still a lower figure than the 41% of Democrats who made the claim during Joe Biden's last year in office. PRRI CEO Melissa Deckman told Axios that it "looks like political independents are very unhappy with Trump's actions, [with] ... close to two-thirds on many indicators saying the administration has gone too far in its policies." She called it a "warning sign for the GOP ahead of the midterms." For more information, visit us at https://www.beverlyhillsimmigrationlaw.com/.
