Summary
A PRRI poll revealed 46% of Republican voters support using the U.S. military to detain undocumented immigrants in camps, a prospect pollster Robert P. Jones found alarming to survey.
While three-quarters of Americans oppose such measures, Jones expressed concern about the normalization of these discussions during the Trump era.
Axios highlighted Trump’s past remarks endorsing military action against undocumented immigrants and political opponents, raising fears about his potential policies in the 2024 election.
The data underscores growing divides over immigration enforcement and the use of military power domestically.
0% of anything is more often than not an indication of bad polling versus actual public opinion, but the poll shows that three-quarters of Americans don’t support the idea. The 46% refers to Trump supporters specifically. A group within a group, and honestly is lower than I’d figure for Trumpists
Always assume that at least 10% of polls are bullshit, from people not understanding the question, the poll, the answers, or people just screwing around, or intentionally choosing funny/ridiculous answers.
Poll question: do you believe in a deity
Poll answers: 1 yes there is a god 2 there are many gods 3 I believe in zorg the destroyer who will bring about universal chaos 4 no
Some people who would answer literally anything else are going to choose 3 simply for the lulz.
It actually says 46% of republican voters, but I do get your point.
