President Donald Trump has called for a new census, another of his many policy shifts that have sent Democrats off the deep end. But much to their chagrin, a recent poll shows most voters back his idea.
According to a Rasmussen Reports survey released this week, 57% of likely voters support Trump’s proposal to conduct a new census to more accurately determine congressional representation. That includes 36% who “strongly approve.”
Meanwhile, 34% oppose the idea, with 24% saying they “strongly disapprove.” Trump wants illegal immigrants out of the census count, and 52% of likely voters agree with him (36% disagree and 11% are not sure).
“Among voters who don’t think illegal immigrants should be counted in the census, 74% approve of Trump’s decision to order a new census: 83% of Republicans, 43% of Democrats and 49% of voters not affiliated with either major party at least somewhat approve of Trump ordering a new census,” according to Rasmussen’s analysis.
“Nearly half (49%) of Democrats believe the census should count illegal immigrants, but solid majorities of both Republicans (65%) and unaffiliated voters (57%) say illegal immigrants shouldn’t be counted.
It comes in mens and womens and lets your friends know you're happy to express your views and don't care what anyone thinks! Cheers!
“A majority (52%) of those who voted for Kamala Harris in last year’s presidential election think the census should count illegal immigrants, while 70% of Trump voters say illegal immigrants shouldn’t be counted.”
