And most voters thought it was unfair.

But between these two, you can see a public that's kind of caught in between support of a general goal and being kind of repelled by the actual way the administration is going about its immigration policy.

We have a couple of ways of getting at how people feel overall about the administration's policy.

One is to ask whether they approve or disapprove of his handling of immigration.

And the other is whether he's gone too far or he's handling it about right or hasn't gone far enough.

And on both of those questions, voters sort out to a negative view of the president.

They disapprove of his handling of immigration and they think he's gone too far.

Now, it's worth noting that in each case, the results are really not that different than April.

So although the president has sort of gone further in terms of undertaking

taking more actions that go beyond what someone might have wanted, he hasn't necessarily convinced more people in doing so that he's gone too far.

They do.

We asked specifically whether the president had gone too far in deploying the National Guard to American cities.

53% said that he did.

We also asked whether they approved of his deployment to Washington, D.C.

specifically.

A majority of voters said they disapproved.

And voters do have real concerns about the president's deployment of military forces as well.

More people were concerned that the president could use the National Guard to intimidate his political opponents than were concerned that crime would spiral out of control without the National Guard.

But there are a number of voters who are really concerned about crime.

And although they may think the president has gone too far, they sympathize with the direction of his effort.
