And these focus group participants were no different.

But people are not so crazy about detaining and arresting people who don't have a criminal record.

And at least one of our focus group members brought up ICE detaining U.S.

citizens.

And we do know from polling, not from our focus group, that immigration has been Trump's best issue.

Except for now, some polls are showing that he's even underwater on that.

Our voters in this tiny sample.

Well, that's the big question.

The White House certainly wants him to.

They sent him out to event after event to talk about the economy and affordability and to explain exactly what he's going to do about it.

not just say how great the economy is because for voters who don't feel the economy is great, they don't like it when a politician tells them that there's something wrong with them, that they can't see how great it is.

So I think it's a real problem.

I mean the White House wants him and they said that he's going to be spending once a week going around the country to an event.

Now we'll see if that actually happens.

But the president these days seems much more interested in not just prosecuting his adversaries but also in foreign policy.

And that's something that our focus group wasn't thrilled about.

They didn't mind the raid to get Maduro, but they weren't so happy with the idea of ongoing military interventions around the world.

I think it was a distraction.

I think that's how the takeaway I had.

I don't think these people were that clear as to why exactly we're doing these things that they did understand that Maduro was a bad guy.
