On everything we asked, voters said he was going too far.
And his ratings had declined since the election.
Now, what's happened since then?
He's pulled back on many of the things I just mentioned.
Liberation Day tariffs were pulled back.
Camaro Obrego-Garcia is in the United States.
He's also gone further in a whole bunch of areas that you've already mentioned.
But the accumulated effect hasn't necessarily been to worsen his position politically since April.
The voters who he still had with him in April were mostly strongly Republican-leaning voters, voters who backed him in 2016 and 2020 and 2024.
And while I think that we can probably come up with cases, in fact, our poll provides some cases where Trump has done things that those voters aren't necessarily happy with, much of what he has done, those voters are happy with him about.
And they've stuck by his side over the last few months.
Well, I think that the public is of two minds about the immigration issue right now.
On the one hand, the public still supports deporting undocumented immigrants back to their home countries.
They also think that most of the people who the administration is deporting should be deported.
So that's a really important way that the public is generally on the administration side.
On the other hand, voters do think that the president's going too far.
And we didn't ask about a specific case where voters might disagree with the president.
For instance, they might disagree with defying court orders or sending people to countries that aren't their home countries and so on.
But what we did ask was whether they thought that the process for deportation was generally fair or unfair.
