As was the case throughout the presidential campaign, more Americans continue to oppose (62%) than favor (35%) building a wall along the entire U.S. border with Mexico. And while President Donald Trump has said the U.S. would make Mexico pay for the wall, the public is broadly skeptical: 70% think the U.S. would ultimately pay for the wall, compared with just 16% who think Mexico would pay for it.
The proposal to build the wall was one of several contentious issues that loomed over a meeting between Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Mexican officials this week to discuss immigration and border issues.
The latest national survey by Pew Research Center, conducted Feb. 7-12, 2017 among 1,503 adults, finds the public holds mixed views on a border wall’s potential impact on illegal immigration. About three-in-ten (29%) think a wall along the entire border with Mexico would lead to a “major reduction” in illegal immigration into the U.S.; another 25% think it would result in a “minor reduction.” A 43% plurality thinks a border wall would not have much impact on illegal immigration into the U.S.
Overall views of the border wall have changed little since last summer. As in the past, there are sharp differences in views across demographic and political groups.
Overall, 46% of whites favor building a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, while a similar share (52%) say they are opposed. By contrast, large majorities of blacks (86%) and Hispanics (83%) say they oppose building the wall.
Opposition to the wall is widespread among young adults younger than 30. By 78% to 20%, more adults under 30 oppose than favor a wall. About two-thirds (65%) of those ages 30-49 also oppose a wall.

Polling done in reliably Democrat districts, weekdays from 8 am to 6 pm (working hours). Who is most likely to be home and answering the phone then?
Dear Estimado Señor Presidente Nieto:
Pedro has been caught crossing the border.
You or one of his relatives can buy his release for $200 or he can enjoy his 30-day stay in our holding pen.
Presidente Trump
Another fake poll to create fake news to be reported by fake news organizations.
Ministry of Propaganda poll to try to influence public opinion.
Pew had it 46% to 40% in their Oct. 2016 final poll.
Oh, I bet.
You can tell how much people oppose the wall by how they elected the guy that said he was going to build a wall.
Thanks for the fake news, fake news man.
No Sale.
Anyone that thinks this wasn’t a ‘complete bull$hit’ poll only needs to read this part from the ‘internals’....
” . Respondents in the landline sample were selected by randomly asking for the youngest adult male or female who is now at home. Interviews in the cell sample were conducted with the person who answered the phone, if that person was an adult 18 years of age or older. For detailed information about our survey methodology, see”
A poll of kids with a brain full of mush isn’t something I would put much stock in.
BS! No one asked me. I’ll gladly pay my part.
If there’s nothing more to come here for...IT WILL!
Most people don’t seem to understand the vehicle Trump envisions for paying for the wall: Import taxes.
********************
And other things such as the amount of money sent south of the border
each payday by the illegals working in the USA. That money would be
left in the USA and spent by locals.
On November 4 Pew came out with a poll that stated 60% of voters believed Trump had no respect for women, that 89% of blacks said that Trump had no respect for blacks, and that 71% of Hispanics said he had no respect for Hispanics. This contrasted with claims from the same poll that voters believed Clinton was basically a saint. There can be no doubt that Pew is a propaganda organization working for the left.
Yeah okay. He just magically destroyed Hillary Clinton in the election 2 months ago with this being his number one issue dince he announced he was running. But the Pew poll ...much more reliable source. Yep.
Really? Anyone recall the election results?
Polls! We don’ need no stinking polls!
Seriously; we don’t. Most of them are biased in some way or another anyway.
THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED!!!
And I’m sure that Trump and his people did expect this. When you have a political party and the media lined up against something...it could be giving a humanitarians award to Mother Teresa, for example - the country will follow the media and Mother Teresa will be instead accused of being a child molester, or something.
But the BOTTOM LINE is that none of this interim stuff matters. All that matters is that Trump can show the country the wall and can state that the BORDER IS SECURE. The final judgment on that is the only thing that will matter to Trump...and the media will have a much more difficult time saying that the wall doesn’t exist or is useless...once it is there.
Pew polls are aptly named.....peeeeeew!
