Heather Cox Richardson 7/12/25 STRONG DISAPPROVAL OF TRUMP's IMMIGRATION POLICIES The Gallup poll shows that U.S. opposition to immigration rose from 2021 to 2024, the years in which the booming economy in the U.S. attracted immigrants pushed out of South American countries whose economies were foundering. Trump falsely tagged that surge as proof that former president Joe Biden was permitting immigrant criminals to flood the country. Sentiments now look like they did in 2021, before that campaign. The poll shows that only 35% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of immigration, while 62% disapprove. There is a strong enthusiasm gap in those numbers: 21% strongly approve while 45% strongly disapprove. Among Independents, 14% strongly approve of Trump's handling of immigration, while 45% strongly disapprove.
