Do US adults support Trump’s Day 1 actions? Here’s what polling shows
Associated Press▶ Follow live updates on President Donald Trump’s return to Washington WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump ‘s second term began with efforts to deliver on key campaign promises, including his vows to crack down on immigration and restore “ energy dominance.” In his first Oval Office appearance in his second term, he issued sweeping pardons for people charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol and declared a “national emergency” at the U.S.-Mexico border. US adults are split on mass deportations, but most support deporting immigrants convicted of violent crime Executive orders previewed Monday by an incoming White House official are intended to end asylum access, send troops to the U.S.-Mexico border and end birthright citizenship. Those endeavors largely weren’t popular: About 6 in 10 U.S. adults in a Pew Research Center poll from last year opposed rules that would make EVs at least half of all new cars and trucks sold in the U.S. by 2032. An AP-NORC poll found that about one-third of Americans “somewhat” or “strongly” favor increasing oil drilling on federal lands, while about 4 in 10 are opposed.
