The Wednesday recording of Morning consultation evaluated how 28 of Biden’s executive actions performed with the public.
Only 39 percent of respondents said they supported Biden’s plans to allow 110,000 refugees in addition to the U.S., which raised a cap that was drastically lowered under Trump to a historic low of 15,000.
Opposition to raising the refugee cap was largely divided along party lines, although the 37 per cent of independent parties opposed to it represented the ‘highest level of dissent against the orders followed’.
Biden’s other immigration and justice policies fared better with voters.
The establishment of a task force to reunite parents and children separated under the Trump administration at the border was supported by 60 percent of voters, while another one that reviewed a Trump-era immigration policy directed, was supported by 55 percent of voters.
But these actions deserve less support than a plan related to the coronavirus to extend a moratorium on evictions or require a mask on public transportation, supporting 67 percent and 78 percent of voters, respectively.
Many of Biden’s more specific immigration policies received half of the respondents’ support. Fifty-one percent of those stopped the construction of the boundary wall, while 38 percent opposed the move. Forty-eight percent support Biden’s choice to repeal the so-called Muslim ban that restricted travel of many Muslim-majority nations, more than the 41 percent who do not.
Plans to include undocumented immigrants in the census were backed by 45 percent of voters, while Biden’s call for Trump’s ‘stay in Mexico’ policy, which prevents migrants from entering the US to apply for asylum , interrupted, was supported by 46 percent of voters.
A Justice Department note that ended the use of private prisons for federal prisoners was supported by 48 percent of voters, while the ban on transgender individuals serving in the military was revoked by 53 percent.
The polls have been conducted with nearly 2,000 participants across three windows since Biden took office and have a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
