Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 2, 2026 —

An opinion poll conducted by AP-NORC reveals that Republican voters hold Donald Trump in higher regard for his handling of immigration issues than for his performance on the economy or his foreign policy related to Iran. This finding comes even as the national approval for his immigration policies has seen a decrease.

The poll data indicates that a substantial majority of Republicans still express approval for Trump’s approach to immigration. This continued support among his party base contrasts with a broader national trend showing a decline in overall approval for his immigration strategies.

While the specific figures for approval ratings on each issue were not detailed in the summary, the poll clearly delineates a preference among Republican respondents. Immigration emerged as a policy area where Trump receives comparatively stronger ratings from this demographic compared to his handling of economic matters or his administration’s engagement with Iran.

The trend suggests that despite any national shifts in public perception regarding immigration, the Republican party’s core voters maintain a favorable view of Trump’s policies and actions in this specific domain. The reasons behind this divergence in perception between the broader national sentiment and the Republican base’s view are not further elaborated in the provided summary.
