A majority of Hispanic respondents support the deployment of troops to the border to stop migrant caravan; A majority of all Americans support troops at the border; Half of women agree with the deployment of troops

A new Zogby Analytics nationwide survey of 866 likely voters, with a margin of error of +/-3.3%, conducted 10/30/18-10/31/18, shows a majority (57%) of Americans support the military's decision to send thousands of troops to the border to prevent a migrant caravan, numbered in the thousands, from entering the U.S. illegally. More than two in five disagree with the military deployment to the border.

Support for the military deployment to the border was pretty widespread demographically. Majorities of voters in the east, south, and central regions (56-62% agree/38-44% disagree) supported the deployment of troops. The only region where there was a majority who disagreed was in the west (51% disagree/49% agree).

As for environs, majorities of likely voters in large cities (55% agreed/46% disagreed), small cities (67% disagree/34% agree), suburbs (56% disagree/44% agree), and rural communities (57% disagree/44% agree) agree with the deployment of troops to prevent a large caravan of migrants from entering the U.S.

Among political parties, Democrats were most likely to disagree (69%), but 31% of Democrats did agree with sending troops to the U.S. - Mexico border. Republicans overwhelmingly support (91%) sending the military to the border. Independents were also in support of sending the military (53%) ...

Ethnicity was another area where there was more agreement than expected. A majority of African Americans disagree (59%) compared to 41% who agree. Interestingly, 51% of Hispanic respondents agree with the deployment of troops to the border to halt the migrant caravan; slightly less than half (49%) disagree. Also, 30% of Hispanics strongly agree compared to 28% who strongly disagree. It must also be noted that the sample of Hispanic respondents carries a larger margin of error (+/-10%), but nonetheless, the numbers do represent a significant finding.

Which means it would need to be 80% of the black males because black women are the most one-sided voting block in this country, and there are ZERO indications it will change anytime soon.

Now who could possibly have seen such a thing happening? /s

That's the thing about acts of false pretense. They will fail to sustain themselves. Democrats never care about much more than self interest a day at a time.

Especially those with relatives that played by the rules and went through the legal process.
Like everything else they respect the right too because they earned it it wasnt given to them

“Half of women agree with the deployment of troops”
Half of women have common sense.

Most Hispanics in this country trace their roots to countries where they EXPECT the military to shoot thousands of people trying to invade across the border.

When did the US stop being a representative Republic and become a POLLORACITY?

Its to the point now if someone calls and says they are taking a poll, I habg up.

The only poll that matters is the one on Election Day.

This illustrates the problem with the Left: they always think everyone in their identity politics boxes agrees with them.

All citizens of every ethnicity want the borders secured and the laws enforced.

The Bush League Republicans were lying to US that we had to pander to hispanics with amnesty.

I viewed it as very bad news for country.

A border security is soverighty issue which is supposed to get at least 95% support.

I came from Asia. In my motherland sovereignty issue never gets into national politics or debate

I’m so f$&king sad and disappointed at Americans, a bunch of wimpies who had no idea of what a country is, let it alone to defend it
