Why Democrats Aren’t Backing Down

A new polling memo from the Chuck Schumer-aligned Senate Majority PAC finds that 50% of voters supported (vs. only 37% opposed) reforms to ICE even if it meant a partial shutdown of the government.

More than half — 54% — said they’d blame Trump and the GOP if there was a shutdown with no ICE reforms.

And this survey was undertaken last week, before the killing of Alex Pretti.

Playbook: “The White House also does a lot of polling, and will be well aware of these shifts in public sentiment. If a deal is done today, this will be why.”
