Most of Democrat Resistance to Trump is taking place in the courts. That’s perhaps because politically Democrats are homeless – excuse me, experiencing homelessness. The Democrat political response is to scream about policies that are highly popular, as a recent Marquette poll showed:
A new Marquette Law School Poll national survey finds substantial majorities support some of President Donald Trump’s early initiatives, while equally substantial majorities oppose others of his policies.Here are Trump’s executive orders, among those covered in the poll, garnering favorable support:
- The federal government’s recognizing only two sexes, male and female, is supported by 63% and opposed by 37%.
- Asked about deporting immigrants in the United States illegally, 60% are in favor and 40% are opposed.
- Similarly, 60% favor expanding oil and gas production.
- And 59% favor declaring a national emergency due to migrant crossings at the southern border.
Conversely, here are executive orders with majority unfavorability:
- A majority, 57%, oppose deporting immigrants who have been in the in the United States illegally for a number of years, have jobs, and no criminal record, while 43% favor deportation in this circumstance.
- A larger majority, 65%, oppose Trump’s announcement in his inaugural address that the United States will take back the Panama Canal, while 35% favor this.
