National Exit Poll Shows Continued Public Support for Immigration Enforcement
(November 13, 2018, Washington, D.C.) —A national exit poll of 1,000 voters in last week’s midterm elections shows that support for immigration enforcement remains strong, and should be an area where bipartisan consensus can be reached in the 116th Congress. The survey was conducted by the polling firm Zogby Analytics on behalf of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
The poll provides conclusive evidence that Republican losses in the House of Representatives were not due to the party’s or President Trump’s strong stances on immigration enforcement. In fact, the president’s emphasis of this issue in the closing days of the campaign may have limited Republican losses and helped the party retain control of the Senate. Support for immigration enforcement was a motivating factor in turning out Republican voters on Election Day and an influence how swing Independent voters cast their ballots.
