A new poll shows the GOP is more trusted than Democrats to handle the hot-button immigration issue — and large percentages of Hispanic and African-American voters are backing President Donald Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” immigration policy.
The respondents were asked” “Who do you trust more to handle the following issue?” The answer for immigration was 40 percent for Democrats, 41 percent for the GOP and a huge 20 percent for “Don’t know” or “No answer.” That is a large percentage of non-answers, and likely hides a block of pro-Trump supporters who fear to respond truthfully.
The poll of 1997 registered voters was conducted by Morning Consult for Politico. The poll was taken January 20 to January 21, ensuring it includes some reaction to the Democrats’ decision to filibuster the 2018 budget to win amnesty for illegals.
The poll also shows that Democrats only scored 44 percent trust among Hispanic registered voters. In contrast, the GOP scored 37 percent trust – and the Hispanic ‘Don’t knows’ added up to 19 percent.
Among African-Americans, the Democrats scored 63 percent in the trust question — but the GOP scored 20 percent, and 17 percent were ‘Don’t knows.’ That score helps explain rising support for Trump among black voters. The score may rise as Democrats continued to turn their attention away from blacks towards immigrants.

Again, Trump has shown the way. Grow a spine. Stop apologizing. Stop cowering to the NYTimes and Bezos Blog.
It works.
"The poll of 1997 registered voters..."
No wonder WHITE LIBS are runnin scared
Their hold on The Plantation is slippin
Yep - McConnell almost looked shell shocked when Schumer caved....
This is interesting since the dems and liberal MSM have been reporting lately that 80% of us want amnesty, chain migration, etc. Who should we believe? (/s)
Blacks - Don’t like the new competition for jobs or gubbermint goodies. Don’t want Hispanics displacing them as the nation’s #1 most aggrieved minority group. As a group increasingly showing signs of being overtly racist after decades of society telling them it’s impossible for them to be racists.
Hispanics - Don’t want the criminal drug thugs and gang-bangers who caused them to flee in the first place following them here.
Now we know............................
Exactly right. Stand firm and produce results. Winning formula.
This poll shows Trump getting real traction with his immigration and economic message. His consistency and perserverence are also critical success factors. He says what he means, and means what he says. People like and respect that in a leader.
Too bad Trump, his own daughter, and his staff don’t understand and respond to this.
MAGA
Winning
No wonder dems are running scared
Their polling numbers must have their knickers in a twist
People don’t want illegal immigration. By a huge margin.
My wife is a naturalized US Citizen from Asia. Believe me, it scores big among Asians, too. Probably only the liberal whites are the ones with a problem. “Seditious” is the word I’m looking for.
Immigration might be a big two-fer as an election issue - a wedge to split the essential black vote near term, and the long term reduction of Democratic vote imports.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense.

The plantation has failed to feed its slaves!

LOVE IT!
Key phrase: “The poll of 1997 registered voters...”
Saw that too, a 21 year old poll. What’s the point of republishing it now?
