“Support for President Trump’s immigration agenda is in free fall in early 2026 after federal immigration agents shot and killed two Americans last month,” according to the new NBC News Decision Desk Poll.
“In a double-digit shift, 49% of adults strongly disapprove of how Trump has handled border security and immigration, up from 38% strong disapproval last summer and 34% in April. Self-identified independents drove the erosion, with the share of strong disapprovers in that group having risen 11 points since August.”
“Fully 60% of those surveyed in the week after the death of Alex Pretti in Minnesota somewhat or strongly disapproved of Trump’s actions on border security and immigration.”
