A majority of likely midterm voters — 66 percent — disapprove of President Joe Biden’s handling of immigration issues, according to a new survey conducted by a Democratic firm that has acted as Biden’s chief political pollster.
The results of the new poll, commissioned by the immigrant advocacy group NILC Immigrant Justice Fund and provided first to NBC News, come just days ahead of Biden’s State of the Union address, in which he is expected to outline his priorities and mark his administration’s achievements over the last year, all amid a still unfolding conflict in Ukraine as Russia continues its all-out assault.
According to the survey, 71 percent said immigration reform should be an extremely or very important priority for the White House and Congress. The survey of 802 likely 2022 voters was conducted February 10-17, by Impact Research, a firm formerly known as ALG polling and founded by John Anzalone, Biden’s chief political pollster. (Anzalone was not personally involved in the poll that his firm conducted.) It had a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent.
