Only 13% say the government is doing too much immigration enforcement, while 20% rate the current level of action as about right.
A majority (51%) of midterm voters say President Joe Biden’s administration is doing a poor job of handling the issue of illegal immigration, while less than a third give the administration a rating of good (20%) or excellent (12%) on the issue.
