() Americans are sharply divided when it comes to the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, a /Decision Desk HQ poll found.

Just over half of respondents (51%) believe immigrants without legal status should be granted a hearing and fair process before being deported. Conversely, 49% believe those who enter the U.S. illegally should be swiftly detained and deported, even if that limits access to legal appeals.

!function(){“use strict”;window.addEventListener(“message”,(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[“datawrapper-height”]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(“iframe”);for(var t in a.data[“datawrapper-height”])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i )if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[“datawrapper-height”][t] “px”;r.style.height=d}}}))}();

Immigration remains a top concern for U.S. voters, particularly for Republicans. While 22% of respondents ranked it as the “biggest problem” facing the United States second to inflation at 59% 37% of Republicans named immigration their top concern, compared to 20% of independents and just 8% of Democrats.

Opinions of President Donald Trump’s handling of immigration are also split. About 39% said he’s done “much better than expected,” while 29% said he has done “much worse.”

Ultimately, 44% of respondents said they “strongly disapprove” of Trump’s overall job performance, while 24% said they approve. The political divide is clear: 55% of Republicans backed Trump, compared to 4% of Democrats.

The poll surveyed 521 Republicans, 560 Democrats, 349 independents and 18 “others,” from April 23 to April 27.
