Private Republican polling reviewed by President Donald Trump's team and reported has shown declining support for his immigration policies, prompting quiet concern among some senior advisers about the political impact of the administration's aggressive Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics, according to a new report.
The internal polling, conducted late last year and reported by Axios, suggested weakening backing among independent, moderate and minority voters who were central to Trump's 2024 election victory. Those findings, which mirror recent public surveys, have intensified scrutiny inside the White House as images of ICE operations — particularly following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis — continue to circulate widely on television and social media.
