Polls

Daily Kos  - Nineteen percent of Americans say immigration is the “most important problem” in the U.S., according to Gallup. That puts it ahead of inflation (11%) and “the economy in general” (17%). Even if you combine all economy-related items, immigration is seen as the nation’s third-most pressing issue, behind only that motley of economic concerns (35%) and “the government/poor leadership” (26%). This is a common result across public polling.

MS NOW -   According to the Pew Research Center, which surveyed more than 8,000 U.S. adults between Jan. 20 and Jan. 26, Trump’s approval rating has dropped from 40% in the fall to 37% today, and 50% say that the Trump administration’s actions have been worse than they expected, versus 21% who say they’re better than expected. But here’s where it gets strikingly bad for the president: “Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans,” Pew reported.
