The poll found that large shares of Americans believe Republicans’ views on crime and policing, immigration and the economy are closer to their own than Democrats’ views, according to CNN’s report. Republicans have a 15-point advantage on crime and policing, a 7-point advantage on immigration and a 5-point advantage on the economy, according to the poll.

The poll also found that 58% of respondents said things are going “pretty” or “very” badly in the United States today, while 42% said things are going “pretty” or “very” well. Americans still carry negative views of both political parties, with 52% having an unfavorable view of Democrats and 51% having an unfavorable view of Republicans.
A relatively large portion of Americans think something isn’t working right now and aren’t happy with what they’re getting. They would still like to solve all of their problems by just inflicting violence on the right people because we have watched too many bad action movies and cop shows and modern military shooters and have some seriously fucked up beliefs about the utility of violence, but Americans see gardeners and school teachers and doctors and parents being dragged away by masked government agents that lash out violently with zero provocation and they say “no, not like that, you’re not hurting the right people, this isn’t what I voted for, etc.”
Also, Republicans numbers are being artificially boosted by the fact that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries can’t go more than three days at a time without saying something that makes them sound completely full of shit.
People like a lot of those things, I would say the ICE thing probably makes Republicans more popular
You are right, the poll kind of shows that, with Republicans leading on immigration.
It’s still scary that the American people think like that.
