Poll: Biden, Democrats Taking Heat for Immigration Disaster
Unvetted immigration campaign promises prove unpopular in practice
By Andrew R. Arthur on July 8, 2021
On Message, Inc. recently released a poll that it had conducted for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the Republican Governors’ Association (RGA) of 1,200 likely voters in 26 senatorial and gubernatorial “battleground” states. It reveals that immigration is a big liability for Democrats, whom voters in those states blame for the current immigration disaster.
First, however, the states deemed "battlegrounds" and that were therefore polled are somewhat remarkable. Safely Republican areas like Alaska, Arkansas, and South Dakota were included, as were dark blue Hawaii, Illinois, and Maryland. Such is this mid-term election political season.
The poll is useful because the questions asked are pretty straightforward, but the phrasing is still interesting.
For example, it asked respondents to agree or disagree, strongly or somewhat, with the following: "Upon taking office President Biden issued Executive Orders eliminating a number of tough Trump policies with regard to immigration. Because of this President Biden is to blame for the increased amount of illegal immigration."
