The latest Scripps News/Ipsos Poll, released Wednesday, found the majority of Republicans and Independents support such a policy, while only a quarter of Democrats agree.
Approximately 54% of all respondents “strongly” or “somewhat” support the idea of mass deportation, according to the poll.
More granular results indicate a partisan split on the issue, with approximately 86% of Republicans and 58% of independents in favor — compared to just 25% of Democrats.
The poll also demonstrated that immigration remains a prominent political issue for Americans, coming close to the top of respondents’ list of concerns.
