>WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sixty percent of Americans oppose major new construction of walls along the U.S.-Mexico border -- the goal behind President Donald Trump's budget showdown with Democratic leaders that led to a record 35-day partial shutdown of the federal government.
>Public opposition to a border wall had increased by 2016, when Trump was pushing construction of the wall. Sixty-six percent opposed "building a wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border" in June of that year.
>The current poll was conducted Jan. 21-27; slightly more than two-thirds of the respondents (69%) were interviewed before Trump ended the shutdown. There is no significant difference in views of the wall between those interviewed during the shutdown and those interviewed after it.
>The vast majority of Americans (81%) favor allowing immigrants living illegally in the U.S. "the chance to become U.S. citizens if they meet certain requirements over a period of time." In 2016, the year Trump was elected president, 84% were in favor of a path to citizenship for those in the country illegally.
>Most of the cards at this point seem to be in the hands of the Democratic negotiators, fresh off their victory over Trump on the government shutdown faceoff. The public is solidly against the expansion of the border walls and remains sympathetic toward immigrants in the country illegally. Both of these views seem to match previous Democratic proposals at a time when Republicans are unable to agree on how to handle immigration. Therefore, it is not hard to envision an outcome that will please far more Democrats than Republicans.
how was trump elected if no one wants a wall? was clinton so despised?

How the fuck is 40-60 a solid majority? The two above are a solid majority. I'm honestly more shocked about the "deporting all illegals" having 37 total favor, that's a pretty good start. BUT, it's a poll and they don't even provide MoE so.. useless.
>hillary clinton has a 98 percent chance of winning according to the polls
>any poll in the united states has credability

>Is this for real? It's been 3 years. Have people still not learned the importance of a border wall? If you read the trends of the graph on Gallup's website, you can see that as more and more Non Americans were allowed in the country, more people opposed immigration restrictions and a wall.

The fucking state of the USA. What happen burgers?

Where did they take this poll, fucking los-angeles?
>how was trump elected if no one wants a wall? was clinton so despised? And a lot of Democrats are talking about enhanced security on the border. It really makes you think.
>The fucking state of the USA. What happen burgers? It all started in the early 1800s When the Irish menace first arrived on American shores. Yankees wanted cheap Potato nigger labor.

women watch tv women are retarded women vote left.

checked there's literally no rational reason to oppose the wall, unless 1) you have land right on the border and dont want to look at it all day, or 2) you stand to profit from the lack of a wall, ie: you're a human/drug trafficker the cost is a drop in the bucket compared to most of the silly shit the feds spend money on if you're out of eyeshot, why would you give a fuck if there was a wall there? this poll is fake news

Pathetic nation-wrecking white american liberals are a bigger problem than blacks or muslims will ever be. I hate half my country. Not because they believe in leftwing economic politics, but because they believe in selling out their own country for the third world. I'm blackpilled as fuck on the future of the USA because our white population is so determined to achieve its own downfall.
Daniel Anderson
Left is actually also cheap labor for corporations. Both parties have become whores to multi-nats. They just show it in different ways.
