President Donald Trump is riding a strong wave of voter approval, especially on the one issue that has defined both his first and second terms: immigration enforcement. A new CBS News poll reveals what the D.C. elites and media activists don’t want to admit — a majority of Americans approve of Trump’s plan to deport illegal immigrants, and support for his America First agenda is holding steady.
While the left screeches about “families being separated” and floods the airwaves with hand-wringing tales of ICE doing its job, 58% of voters say they stand firmly behind Trump’s historic plan to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history. Let that sink in — despite every effort by the corporate press to shame, scare, and spin, the American people want their borders secured and their sovereignty restored.
The same poll shows President Trump maintaining a 50% approval rating, remarkable given the unrelenting attacks from the media, academia, and globalist think tanks. In fact, immigration remains his strongest issue, with 53% of voters approving his overall approach — and that number climbs even higher when it comes to direct deportation plans. That tells you everything you need to know about where this country’s priorities lie.
Even more impressive is that Trump is polling well on issues the left thought they could weaponize against him. His dismantling of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) bureaucracy? Supported by 52% of voters. His handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict? Backed by 51%. These are major wins for an administration that’s delivering bold, unapologetic leadership — not playing footsie with woke academics or Euro-globalist institutions.
Now let’s talk about the so-called negatives. Yes, the poll shows tariffs and inflation are areas where voters are split. But here’s the deal: Americans know that short-term pain leads to long-term independence. For too long, this country has been beholden to China, Mexico, and every other leech draining our manufacturing base and hollowing out the middle class. Trump’s tariff policy is about reclaiming that lost ground, even if Wall Street and the Beltway crowd don’t like it.
As for inflation, a whopping 38% of voters still blame Joe Biden — more than blame Trump — and that’s with Biden long gone. That should tell you everything about who voters trust to actually fix the mess.
On the judiciary front, Trump’s confrontation with activist judges split voters. A majority of Republicans (59%) support impeaching rogue federal judges — and that number will climb as more Americans realize how the judiciary has been weaponized against the people’s will. When federal judges start behaving like unelected kings instead of constitutional referees, it’s time to show them the door.
Trump’s approval split between men and women isn’t new — 58% of men back him, while 58% of women disapprove. But here’s the surprise: he’s winning young voters. That’s right — 51% of Americans under 30 approve of President Trump. Despite years of leftist indoctrination in the schools and universities, the rising generation is choosing reality over rainbow-colored fairy tales. Even among the over-65 crowd, Trump’s base remains strong.
The bottom line? The American people are done with open borders, globalist pandering, and bureaucratic bloat. They’re tired of politicians who promise and never deliver. President Donald Trump is delivering — and the people know it.
