That's exactly right. In fact, we asked voters whether they thought Trump's immigration policy is going too far or is about right or doesn't go far enough. And a majority of voters say he's going too far. And one example in the poll is his handling of the Kilmer-Obrego-Garcia case, the man who was deported mistakenly to a prison in El Salvador.

Only 32% of voters approve of his handling of the case, 52% disapprove.

or efforts to deport people on stronger legal footing, I would guess that a majority of voters would approve of his handling of immigration. But because we're focused on this area where he's acting in defiance of the courts, and also clearly, in our poll's view, in defiance of public opinion, He has undermined what ought to be a relatively strong position on what has been his strongest issue.

Doge is probably the issue where Trump is maybe holding up the best. This is, of course, relative. 52% of voters say they're going too far with their cuts to the federal workforce. So this is his best issue that we're asking about. But even on this issue, he's underwater.

Not good for the president either. Already, a majority of voters say the president's actions have made the economy worse. They say the economy has gotten worse over the last year.
