  • A new Fox News poll indicates that nearly 60% of its viewers disapprove of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), marking a record high disapproval since 2018.
  • Only 42% of respondents approve of ICE's performance, with a Republican pollster attributing the sharp decline in approval to the agency's tactics in Minneapolis and negative news coverage.
  • The survey highlights a partisan split in views, showing high approval among MAGA and conservative Republicans, but increased disapproval among Democrats, individuals under 30, and male respondents.
  • Nearly half of those surveyed (46%) expressed a desire to reduce ICE's funding, while only 20% believed funding should be increased.
  • Conducted just before DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was fired by President Trump, the poll also found 49% believe President Trump's immigration policies are harming the economy.
