President Donald Trump has called for a new census, and a new poll shows he has majority support on that.
A majority of likely voters (57%) approve of Trump’s call for a new census to fairly determine congressional representation, including a 36% plurality that “strongly approve,” according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll released this week.
Just 34% disapprove of calling for a new census, and just 24% strongly disapprove.
Trump wants illegal immigrants out of the census count, and 52% of likely voters agree with him (36% disagree and 11% are not sure).
“Among voters who don’t think illegal immigrants should be counted in the census, 74% approve of Trump’s decision to order a new census: 83% of Republicans, 43% of Democrats and 49% of voters not affiliated with either major party at least somewhat approve of Trump ordering a new census,” according to Rasmussen’s analysis.
“Nearly half (49%) of Democrats believe the census should count illegal immigrants, but solid majorities of both Republicans (65%) and unaffiliated voters (57%) say illegal immigrants shouldn’t be counted.
