Half of Americans say Trump has gone too far on deportations, though most Republicans still support his approach.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite an overall decline in public opinion on\u00a0immigration<\/a>, the issue remains stronger for US President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0than the economy or\u00a0Iran<\/a>, according to a new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the new survey released on Sunday, only 39 percent of US adults approve of Trump\u2019s performance on immigration, which is down from 49 percent at the beginning of his second term.

Despite that, about 8 in 10 members of Trump\u2019s Republican Party continue to approve of how he is handling immigration. That\u2019s a slight decline from the beginning of Trump\u2019s second term, when about 9 in 10 Republicans approved, but his support on the issue within his base has been mostly stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans are also more likely to approve of how Trump is handling immigration than the economy or Iran. In just the past month, Republican approval of Trump\u2019s handling of the US and Israel\u2019s war on Iran<\/a> dropped slightly in AP-NORC polling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Trump\u2019s popularity has fallen since he took office last year. But the new findings highlight the relatively muted impact of the past year\u2019s aggressive immigration enforcement on his public standing. That\u2019s a contrast with views of his handling of Iran, where he\u2019s seen more recent signs of slippage, even among his own supporters. A Politico poll recently showed just a third of self-identified Make America Great Again (MAGA) voters, typically the most unquestioning of Trump\u2019s base, felt the economic costs of the war with Iran were worth it.

Americans remain divided on whether Trump has overstepped on immigration. About half of US adults say Trump has \u201cgone too far\u201d when it comes to restricting legal immigration. Roughly half \u2014 47 percent \u2014 say Trump has exceeded his authority when it comes to deporting immigrants living in the US illegally. In each case, about 3 in 10 say Trump\u2019s actions have been \u201cabout right,\u201d and closer to 2 in 10 say he hasn\u2019t gone far enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few Republicans \u2013 about 2 in 10 or fewer \u2013 say he\u2019s \u201cgone too far\u201d on deporting immigrants in the country illegally or restricting legal immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Americans, however, say he\u2019s gone too far when it comes to using traffic stops to find and arrest immigrants living in the US illegally \u2014 a practice that was at the centre of two recent US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shootings in Maine<\/a> \u2014 and when it comes to sending federal immigration agents into US cities. Republicans were also less likely to see these as oversteps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s overall approval rating on the economy remains low. About 3 in 10 US adults, 32 percent, approve of how he is handling the economy. That\u2019s down from 40 percent at the start of his second term, and marks a shift from his first presidential term, when the economy was a stronger issue for Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly 7 in 10 Republicans \u2013 69 percent \u2013 approve of how Trump is handling the economy. That\u2019s roughly in line with the share who approve of how he\u2019s handling the presidency, but it\u2019s slightly below the 78 percent who approved early in Trump\u2019s second term.

About 7 in 10 US adults describe the nation\u2019s economy as \u201cvery\u201d or \u201csomewhat\u201d poor. Republicans are more optimistic, with about 6 in 10 saying that the US economy is doing well, compared with about 2 in 10 independents and roughly 1 in 10 Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll found that Republicans increasingly approve of how Trump handles healthcare, which has never been a strong issue for the president. Unlike with immigration and the economy, a clear majority of US adults have disapproved of Trump\u2019s performance on healthcare across both presidential terms. That hasn\u2019t changed in the new poll, which found that only about 3 in 10 Americans approve of how Trump is handling healthcare. He\u2019s seen a rebound on the issue among his own supporters, though. Roughly 71 percent of Republicans now approve, compared with 59 percent in the poll from last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That shift comes as Democrats kicked off 100 days\u00a0until the midterm elections<\/a>\u00a0last week, with leaders saying they\u2019ll\u00a0focus on healthcare cuts, in addition to the cost of living and the war in Iran. Democrats and independents continue to overwhelmingly disapprove of Trump\u2019s handling of healthcare.
