Voters Itching To Punish Washington On Border Crisis, 67% fail Biden
As if voters needed another reason to hit the polls this fall for the
congressional midterm elections, the Supreme Court on Thursday issued an opinion affirming President Joe Biden’s
open-border agenda, a decision that should drive turnout even higher.
Already hot over gas prices, inflation, abortion, and guns, the addition of
immigration could boost voter turnout in an election Republicans have held an advantage in for months.
The latest
Rasmussen Reports survey, for example, said that 73% consider immigration a critical election issue.
Two other questions Rasmussen asked also gave a strong indication of whom voters want to punish in the elections.
- By a margin of 52%-11%, voters said illegal immigration is getting worse, not better.
- Sixty-seven percent rated Biden’s handling of the immigration issue as poor to fair.
- A majority of independent voters said Biden has done a bad job on immigration and that illegal immigration is getting worse.
- The survey offered little hope that the Supreme Court’s Thursday decision would salve over one of Biden’s top political wounds with his speedy dismantling of former President Donald Trump’s border policies.
Instead, it gave Trump and his allies, as well as former border officials, another chance to draw attention to the historic numbers of illegal crossers and
migrant deaths that have occurred since Biden took office.
