Partners polled 1,009 registered voters ahead of Trump's inauguration asked them: 'Currently, when someone is born in the United States they immediately become a citizen, regardless of their country of origin or their parents’ citizenship status. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office on Monday that directs the end of birthright citizenship, setting up a legal battle that could end at the Supreme Court Our new poll is one of several that appears to show public opinion moving in Trump's direction, after years of headlines about an immigration and border crisis.
