Poll Shows Support for Trump's Deportation Policies, Divided Views on Scale

A recent CBS News poll examined public opinion on President Trump's deportation program and related economic policies. The poll found that a majority of Americans support the concept of deporting undocumented immigrants, but there is considerable disagreement over the scale of the program. Some believe that only those with criminal records should be deported, while others advocate for a broader approach.

The poll also explored Americans' perceptions of the impact of tariffs. A significant portion of respondents expressed concern that tariffs will lead to increased prices for goods and services. This concern aligns with warnings from economists who argue that tariffs ultimately burden consumers.

Interestingly, the poll revealed a discrepancy between support for Trump's stated goals and approval of his chosen methods. While some respondents agreed with the president's objectives, they expressed reservations about the specific policies implemented to achieve those goals. This suggests that the public is carefully evaluating the effectiveness and potential consequences of Trump's policies.
