As President Joe Biden’s overall approval numbers plummet, even within his own party one issue gets mentioned often as responsible for his massive drop in popularity: the unchecked flow of illegal immigrants on the nation’s southern border. A new Issues & Insights poll confirms what many suspected: that more voters now blame Biden, not former President Donald Trump, for the border disaster.
According to I&I/TIPP data, among those who say they are closely following the issue (59%), 45% blame Biden, while just 25% point their fingers at Trump. Meanwhile, 18% of those queried blamed “both,” 8% said “neither,” but just 4% said “not sure.”
