A CBS News/YouGov poll conducted earlier this month reveals significant support among the American electorate for a national mass deportation program. According to the survey, 62 percent of registered voters back the deportation of all illegal immigrants currently living illegally in the United States, while just 38 percent oppose their removal.
The survey results show even more surprising trends within certain demographic groups traditionally associated with Democratic leanings. Notably, 58 percent of women and individuals holding at least a four-year college degree supported such a deportation policy. Additionally, 53 percent of Hispanic voters indicated their approval of the measure. This figure is slightly less than the 67 percent—over two-thirds—of white respondents.
Only among black respondents did support fall below 50 percent. Just 47 percent of black respondents said they support mass deportation.
The growing popularity of mass deportation among voters coincides with a trend that shows former President Donald J. Trump gaining traction among Hispanic voters. CNN data and election analyst Harry Enten noted that Trump commands considerable trust in issues of border security and immigration within this demographic.
