Trump's immigration approval hits new low, according to Reuters/Ipsos poll
A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump's immigration approval at 38%, lowest since his return, with significant drops among men and independent voters, key to swing elections.
- On February 17, 2026, Reuters/Ipsos found U.S. public support for President Donald Trump's immigration policies at its lowest since he returned to the White House, with just 38% approving, down from 39% in January.

- The poll, which ran four days, found approval from 50% of 1,117 U.S. adults with a margin of error 3 percentage points, corroborating other recent surveys.

- With independents drifting, Quinnipiac shows Trump 27 points underwater, and CNN's Harry Enten said, `When you lose the center of the electorate, you lose the American people`.
