Amid Trump's Crackdown Americans' views on immigration took a massive positive swing this year amid President Donald Trump's ongoing crackdown, according to new Gallup polling.
When asked if immigration is generally a good thing or bad thing for the country, a record-high 79% of U.S. adults call it a good thing; a record-low 17% see it as a bad thing.

Yup.
Trends, not instances.
That's why I prefer RCP polls. Yeah, they may take a week or two to "catch up" with most recent polls, but that's A Good Thing,, a single poll may not have sway.
OK, that aside, let's dive into the Gallup poll ...
Surge in U.S. Concern About Immigration Has Abated

... These findings are based on a June 2-26 Gallup poll of 1,402 U.S. adults, including oversamples of Hispanic and Black Americans, weighted to match national demographics. ...
So, registered voters?
Or, likely voters?
Or just a random adjusted sample?
At this point, it seems to be the latter.
"No one I know is having a problem with what Trump is doing with immigration."
Nobody is suprised you support ICE detaining American citizens with no charges filed.
I am little bit unsure why you aren't out there doing it and making all kinds of money.
This is your chance to hurt the people who need to be hurt!

U.S. citizen DHS detained for 10 days has intellectual disabilities, family claims
On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security argued his arrest, which has attracted national attention, was a "direct result of his own actions and statements." A DHS spokesperson said Hermosillo approached a Border Patrol agent, said he had entered the U.S. illegally and identified himself as a Mexican citizen.
The department also posted a copy of Hermosillo's sworn statement on X in which Hermosillo responded "yes" when asked if he had entered the U.S. illegally. The document shows a child-like signature that reads "Jose."
In a phone interview Tuesday, Hermosillo's parents told CBS News their son suffers from intellectual disabilities, cannot read or write and has trouble speaking. They said he could not have possibly known what he was signing when he was detained.

That's the thing with long-term trend polls... the questions do not change over time because that would affect the validity of the trend.
What I found interesting in these results was the change of opinion by Independents...
From Gallup...
On the whole, do you think immigration is a good thing or a bad thing for this country today?
