New poll shows Americans trust Democrats over Trump on border security
CBS News ^ | JANUARY 29, 2019 | GRACE SEGERS

Days after the end of the longest shutdown in history, a new Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday finds a majority of Americans trust Democrats over President Trump on the issue at the center of the stalemate: border security. Fifty percent of registered voters say they trust Democrats in Congress to address border security, as opposed to 41 percent who said they trust Mr. Trump.

The results are deeply divided along party and racial lines. Republicans trust Mr. Trump 87 to 8 percent, while Democrats trust congressional Democrats 91 to 4 percent. White voters trust Mr. Trump by 50 to 44 percent, black voters trust Democrats by 75 to 16 percent and Hispanic voters trust Democrats 66 to 13 percent.

As recently as November, a Washington Post/ABC News poll found voters trusted Republicans over Democrats on border security by 10 points. The 35-day shutdown was the result of a dispute over funding for a border wall. Mr. Trump initially refused to sign any funding bill that didn't include money for the wall, which Democrats opposed. However, Mr. Trump backed down on Friday, signing a continuing resolution without wall funding to reopen the government through Feb. 15 while congressional negotiators try to craft a deal on border security.

White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told "Face the Nation" Mr. Trump is willing to allow another shutdown if he does not get wall funding by the new deadline.

"He is willing to do whatever it takes to secure the border. He does take this very seriously. This is a serious humanitarian and security crisis," Mulvaney said Sunday.

But the Quinnipiac poll found the wall is mostly popular among members of Mr. Trump's political base. Fifty-five percent of voters overall oppose building a wall, while 41 percent support it. Sixty-one percent of voters said they would support a bill funding new border security measures without a wall, and 66 percent of voters said they would not support Mr. Trump calling a national emergency to build the wall. Mr. Trump is also mulling a national emergency declaration as a possible path to funding wall construction.

The poll also found 56 percent of voters blamed Mr. Trump and Republicans for the shutdown. Sixty-eight percent said they did not support shutting down the government in an attempt to get funding for the wall.

black voters trust Democrats by 75 to 16 percent

It's sad because I doubt blacks are really that pro-illegal, but they're so married to the Democratic Party that these are the numbers you're going to get on anything. Even ten years ago when like 70% of blacks opposed gay marriage, I'm sure 75% of them would still tell pollsters they "trust the Democrats more on the gay marriage issue."

Something like 66% overall wanted a wall just a couple of weeks ago.

This poll smells.

All you have to do to get this result is over-sample Democrats, which is what they always do.

The poll also states that 46% approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, whereas 51% disapprove. Yes, with the lowest unemployment in history and record growth! The poll is crap!

Firmly?

I don’t buy it.

Number one is, if Trump doesn’t get a wall, does ANYONE think Kamala Harris, Bloomberg, Gilibrand, Castro, Biden or any of these other clowns will INSTEAD get them a Wall?

Number two is, when a REAL conservative (not a lyin’ Anne Coulter follower NEVERTRUMPER) looks at it, Trump is not only preferable to all of the democrats, but the democrats—any of them—will be the END of us if they get in charge.

Number three, and final, I firmly believe if any REAL conservative does not see the truth of 1 and 2 above, then they are stupid morons.

Basically, I see you as saying:

“If Trump does not get me a Wall by 2020, I’m not voting for him. and I do not care if a democrat wins and invites all the illegals in the world in to be citizens, and quash my vote and future vote so a conservative NEVER wins again, and then the democrats have a super-majority to take my guns away, tax me to death, call my love of America as founded hate speech, and destroy our country.”

“That’ll show him for not making serious headway on this!”

WWII - Most Americans back the Third Reich and Japanese. -CBS "poll".

Korea - Most Americans back North Korea. -CBS "poll".

Vietnam - Most Americans support Hanoi and Jane Fonda.

CBS polls have always been for losers. Thank you Walter Crankcase.

Hi.

I’d like to see where the samples were taken and the size of sample v. the population...along with the standard deviation.

5.56mm

Yeah you’re right it’s my fault. DJT has not put together the kind of team that produces authoritative reports to the public, which a lot of Americans are impressed by. Yes he’s done a lot but the rest of his pr team is not strong.
