Wednesday ‘s poll from Morning Consult evaluated how 28 actions of Biden’s executive had public results.
Only 39% of respondents said they support Biden’s plans to allow another 110,000 refugees to enter the United States, raising a ceiling that has been drastically lowered below Trump to an all-time low of 15,000.
Opposition to the lifting of the refugee cap was largely divided along party lines, although 37 percent of independents who opposed it represented “the highest level of dissent against the orders pursued.”
Biden’s other immigration and justice policies did better with voters.
The creation of a working group to bring parents and children apart at the border under the Trump administration was supported by 60% of voters, while another direction of a review of immigration policies in the Trump era was supported by 55% of voters .
But those moves gained less support than a coronavirus-related plan to extend a moratorium on evacuations or require a public transport mask, which won the support of 67 percent and 78 percent of voters, respectively.
Many of Biden’s more specific immigration policies have won the support of about half of those surveyed. Fifty-one percent of those surveyed stopped building the border wall, while 38 percent opposed the action. Forty-eight percent supported Biden’s choice to repeal the so-called Muslim ban that limited travel from many Muslim-majority nations to more than 41 percent who did not.
Plans to include undocumented immigrants in the census returned to 45 percent of voters, while Biden’s call to disrupt Trump’s “stay in Mexico” policy, which blocks migrants from entering the United States to seek asylum, was supported by 46% of voters.
A note from the Justice Department that ended the use of private prisons for federal inmates was supported by 48 percent of voters, while repealing the ban on transgender people working in the military in question with 53 percent support.
The surveys have been conducted with almost 2,000 participants in three windows since Biden took office and have a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
