62% dislike from independents is not the gigantic cliff I would hope for. Thankfully some R's have left the hard maga zone too but God's help us what a deplorable tribe of grossly indoctrinated fanatics & extremists.

> catastrophic approval numbers for ICE Putting every air passenger that transits MSP through a "papers please" checkpoint seems unlikely to make line go up.

It's pretty crazy that even with the full bore propaganda operation on RW media and by Republicans that they can only get 70% of Republicans to approve of them. Support that high is pathetic but glad their depravity is breaking their information bubble and dropping it probably 20 points.

This obviously isn't the point, but I will never understand anyone who "doesn't know" what their opinion of something is. Especially if that something is kidnapping and gassing people in the streets. Fuck ICE

"Doesn't know" often includes "Refuses to answer". Perhaps they in an abusive relationship and don't dare answer. Also there are people who are profoundly uninformed about key issues.

I remain hopeful that it's possible to move that approval number further down among Republicans, or cause the dissonance of maintaining that R support to convince people to move themselves from "Republican" to "Independent".

They thought that by attacking a foreign country (Venezuela) they would get a knee-jerk “rally-around-the-flag” bounce in overall popularity. The fact that didn’t happen—and they even lost more ground—must have them spinning. They’re probably more dangerous and unpredictable than ever.

Like, it wasn't long ago that majorities were of the opinion that lesser average income for Black Americans was due to "cultural issues and not working hard". Where do you even go with this?

If I remember the stats correctly, it's still the case that most white people live in a county that's over 80% white. That's what's wrong with white people: most of us see non-white people so rarely that it's possible to make the argument that they aren't really people just like us.

The people they are voting for don't see them that way, just as Jews, Italians and many others were once not considered white. "And (they) have brought humanity to the edge of oblivion: because they think they are white." —James Baldwin

The Minnesota campaign is a clearer sign than any that it is not about immigration enforcement, it's just about terrorizing random people, which I have to believe has led to a big drop even amongst people who identify as immigration hardliners

Perhaps around half the 37% approval due to media landscape and seeing / hearing little other than Faux News or worse? The other half? The racist, white supremacist, sociopathic Republican MAGA base of Trump cultists. What is actual Trump Derangement Syndrome? Believing anything he says …

Would like a polls of faith & race combined. Pretty sure white evangelicals are the fascist base of this movement. Thinking about the WWJD bracelets popularized years ago & thinking how he would be in the streets condemning ICE. They would definitely deport Jesus.

Sadly, the people in charge of decision-making in America are dedicated to making up their own numbers, then believing them wholeheartedly. That this is how child rapist Trump managed to bankrupt a casino is simply my observation.

The +2 among whites is pretty gross. That's a pretty large number of people who had their doubts UNTIL they saw the whole face-shooting-while-ethnic-cleansing thing, and THEN were like "yeah, ok, THIS is something I support."
