Half of Americans now support abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to the latest Economist/YouGov poll, marking the first time backing for eliminating the agency has reached a majority in the survey's history. Fifty percent of respondents said they somewhat or strongly support abolishing ICE, while 39% oppose the idea.
Support has risen steadily since the start of the year. A majority of Independents now favor abolishing ICE for the first time, with 52% backing the measure. Most Republicans remain opposed, with 68% rejecting the proposal. 23%, however, say they support it. Majorities of Democrats have backed abolishing the agency in multiple polls this year.
