On the latest episode of “Face the Nation,” CBS News’ Margaret Brennan told Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla that “public approval” for Donald Trump’s deportation agenda is “so high,” referencing the latest CBS News poll.
“But details matter,” the senator replied. “It depends.”
It does, indeed. The host wasn’t wrong about her network’s latest survey: A CBS News poll, released last week, found 54% support for deporting immigrants who aren’t legally supposed to be in the United States, and also found the president with a 50% approval rating on immigration — better than his standing on other issues.
But this isn’t the only available data.
