According to the Chinese website in the United States, President Obama’s policy to halt the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants is very popular, although his approach is not. According to CNN, 50% of people believe Obama’s immigration policy is correct, 20% think he has not done enough, while only 26% say his actions are excessive.
According to a poll released on 26, only 41% of people support Obama’s use of executive orders for immigration reform, while 56% oppose it. CNN/ORC conducted a survey of 1,045 adults from November 21 to 23, with a margin of error of 3%.
Although the apparent support for Obama’s executive orders is limited, analysis shows that it is also difficult for the Republicans to dismantle the President’s policies.
Only 16% of Americans express anger towards Obama’s immigration actions, while 27% say they are unhappy. Nearly a quarter say it does not matter, but as many as 41% say they are satisfied with the President’s actions or are enthusiastic about them.
More importantly, 76% of people say the Republicans should spend more time passing immigration reform legislation — which is exactly what Obama urges his Republican critics to do, while only 21% say the Republicans should oppose Obama’s policies at every turn.
