A Politico/Morning Consult Poll, released this week, shows a big decline in support for citizenship for illegal immigrants, even among Democrats.
This finding, by a liberal Democratic-oriented national survey firm has the potential to roil further the debate about Biden’s immigration proposals.
The survey showed that only 43% of registered voters favored creating a “pathway” to citizenship for illegal immigrants. That figure is down from 57% last month — a drop of 14 points.
47% opposed the “pathway” to citizenship with 29% of the total sample wanting them to be deported and 19% saying they should be legalized and allowed to stay but should not have a pathway to citizenship.
Among Democrats, the decline in support for the Biden citizenship program fell from 72% to 57% over the past month.
