Somehow, Biden’s Immigration and Border Polling Gets Worse
... taking Americans’ satisfaction with immigration levels with it, while support for Mayorkas's impeachment grows — including among Democrats
By Andrew R. Arthur on February 27, 2024
Americans’ approval of the job President Biden is doing on immigration and the border has never been strong, but somehow the most recent polls show satisfaction with the president’s handling of those topics is declining. More saliently, however, Biden’s poor handling of those subjects is taking Americans’ satisfaction with the level of immigration to this country down with it, and increasing the calls for his DHS secretary to be impeached.
The Economist/YouGov. Between February 18 and 20, polling outfit YouGov surveyed 1,562 U.S. adults — including 1,353 voters — for UK journal The Economist and asked them their thoughts on the president’s handling of immigration.
Among Americans aged 18 and older, 57 percent disapproved of the job Biden is doing on immigration, while just 34 percent approved. Biden’s showing was both better and worse among registered voters, 59 percent of whom disapproved and 35 percent of whom approved.
As with most Economist/YouGov polls, this one was Democrat-heavy, which is likely why this is one of the better polls for Biden on immigration. And two-thirds of those Democrats polled, 66 percent, approved of the president’s handling of immigration, while just 26 percent disapproved.
