As many as 54% of the respondents approve of the Trump administration's actions, while 46% disapprove of it, the poll showed on Sunday.
The majority – 53% - believe that the authorities are deporting specifically those who are dangerous criminals. However, 47% of those polled disagree, maintaining that the deportations include non-criminals, the survey indicated.
Meanwhile, half of the respondents indicated that the number of deportees significantly exceeded their expectations. An overwhelming majority—63%—advocate for upholding due process and providing potential deportees with the opportunity to defend their rights in court.
Additionally, 39% believe that the deportations make the US economy weaker.
The poll, conducted from June 4 to 6, surveyed 2,428 adults. The margin of error is approximately 2.4%. All results were collected prior to the protests against Trump's immigration policies that erupted in Los Angeles.
