Half of Trump 2024 voters happy with deportations: Poll
Some voters who picked President Donald Trump in the 2024 election have soured on the White House’s approach to illegal immigration a year and a half into his mass deportation operation, according to a new poll.
The less-than-glowing assessment from Trump’s base could spell trouble for Republicans less than three months ahead of the midterm elections, and it could lead the Trump administration to stay quieter on immigration enforcement and border security ahead of November.
A new Politico survey of U.S. adults nationwide between Aug. 8 and Aug. 12 revealed that Trump voters were divided on whether deportations were being handled with the right amount of aggressive action. Fifty percent of voters said the White House had achieved the right level.
Exactly 22% said his mass deportations campaign, including how he has used Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has been “too aggressive,” while 24% said the administration had not been aggressive enough. The remaining 4% were undecided.
The lack of approval was higher when pollsters pitted “MAGA” Trump voters against “non-MAGA” Trump voters.
More non-MAGA respondents were unhappy with Trump’s approach to deportations than happy with it. Thirty-one percent responded that the campaign was too aggressive, while 18% said it was not aggressive enough, for a total 49%. Just 45% of those polled said the Trump administration had achieved the right level. Six percent were unsure.

Among the MAGA bloc, 44% were discontented with the level of aggression in deportations, including 15% who said that the administration has gone too far and 29% who believed it has not gone far enough.
The online survey was conducted among 2,005 U.S. adults by London-based polling firm Public First on Politico’s behalf. It did not list a margin of error.
