Suburban women overwhelmingly support President Donald Trump’s policy of freezing the inflow of foreign workers until they, their husbands, and their children regain the jobs lost to the coronavirus crash, according to a poll of 1,810 likely voters by Rasmussen Reports.
Just 12 percent of swing-voting “moderate” suburban women, and just 19 percent of all likely voters, agreed with business groups and Democrats that the government should “allow employers to import foreign workers to fill job openings instead of recruiting among these unemployed Americans.”
But Trump’s June 22 policy is getting overwhelming support — even among groups who are not part of the GOP coalition.
Sixty-seven percent of all voters said “no” to more foreign workers. So did 80 percent of conservative suburban women, 71 percent of moderate suburban women, and 62 percent of liberal suburban women.
Rasmussen’s June 28 to July 6 poll is important because Trump is considering whether he can boost his sagging polls by expanding the popular “Hire American” policy before the election.
The policy is opposed by business donors and by some White House aides — and by 17 percent of suburban liberal women.
Rasmussen asked: “Minorities and women have been hit particularly hard by job losses as a result of the pandemic. Should the government allow employers to import foreign workers to fill job openings instead of recruiting among these unemployed Americans?”
The “no” answer was echoed by 75 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of Democrats, although 18 percent of Democrats dodged the question, saying, “Not Sure.”
Seventy-seven percent of non-college white voters and 72 percent of black college voters took Trump’s side.
Among conservatives, 67 percent said no, as did 67 percent of moderates.

Those aides should be shown the door. Deep state denizens no doubt.
How would this even have been open to question? OF COURSE American employment is popular among Americans. Mr. President, ride "Hire American" to a second term!
They agree with the policy - which is no surprise. You remove party and rhetoric from an issue, many groups, including African Americans, will answer the conservative position. The problem is getting the message and understanding of which party / candidate advocates for the positions they actually agree with.
Maybe the Karen’s are waking up to the fact that the RATS aren’t their friends.
But, but, but, CNN said women hate Trump and 95% loved Biden???
They probably do hate him. It’s just that they approve of this one policy.
Or at least if those aids had legitimate concerns, monitored VERY closely.
Exactly.
As soon as you tell ‘em it’s actually Trump’s policy, half again will against it.
I’m guessing that Ivanka and Jared oppose his immigration shutdown.
