Despite Democrats’ lobbying of Ipsos, the public primarily blames President Joe Biden for the failure of the immigration deal in Congress.
of Voting February 9-10 “To what extent do you blame each of the following for Congress’ failure to pass legislation aimed at reducing the number of illegal border crossers at the U.S.-Mexico border?”
Of the 528 adult respondents, only 29% said they “strongly disapproved” of President Trump. By contrast, 35% highly disapproved of President Joe Biden.
However, both respondents are likely to be comprised of partisans whose votes are already locked into each party. But an additional 10% blamed Trump “a lot” and another 14% blamed Biden “a lot.”
That means Trump’s responsibility score was 39 percent, Biden’s score was 49 percent, and he missed the question 20 percent of the time.

A new poll debunks Democrats’ claims that the Feb. 13 reelection of retiring Congressman Tom Suozzi in New York was a confidence-building victory for the party’s new style of rhetoric on immigration.
“Tom Suozzi’s victory last night was due in part to his decision to go on the offensive at the border and attack opponents of a bipartisan border agreement, but border politics is unfolding right before our eyes. It’s proof that things are changing,” said Senator Chris.Murphy (D-Conn.) argued February 14th memo.
Mr. Murphy helped negotiate the deal with Republican leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). But the deal was so fraudulent, pro-immigration, and biased that it was shattered by a revolt by populist-leaning Republican senators on February 7. The shocking defeat puts a spotlight on Republican leadership’s renewed focus on populist concerns about the economic and national burden of immigration.
Murphy continued:
Democrats want to solve the problem. There’s proof. Republicans are trying to use this issue to divide us. There’s proof. A new winning argument on border security and immigration, written in 100 words:
“Republicans claimed there was a crisis at the border, but they voted against a bipartisan bill written by members of their own party to solve the crisis. They voted against it for one reason: Donald.・Trump has said he wants to maintain chaos at the border to gain political advantage. Republicans are not interested in fixing the border. They use the border issue as a political issue to All they care about is demonizing working immigrants. Democrats are the only party that will vote for legislation that secures our borders and protects and improves our history of safe, legal immigration.”
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) echoed Murphy’s assertion.of new york times report February 14:
“We’re now making the border an issue that Democrats are fronting, whereas before all this happened we were on the back foot,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat and majority leader, said in an interview Wednesday. “I was doing it,” he said. . “President Trump almost handed us this issue on a silver platter when he said the border was an emergency and then said he didn’t want to play this issue for political purposes. ”
“It went from a negative issue to a positive issue. Not completely positive, but overall positive,” he said.
but YouTube survey There was little optimism among Congressional Democrats.
For example, an Ipsos poll found that 31% of Americans blamed Democrats “a lot” for the border bill’s failure. But the poll also found that 31% say Republicans bear a “huge” amount of responsibility.

This failure to reach bipartisan agreement was not featured prominently in advertising for this House election. However, Mr. Suozzi took an unusually tough stance for a Democratic Party, temporarily requesting the president to speak on the matter. close borders and deport an immigrant People attacking the police.

Republican candidate Maji Pillip called the deal with Lankford an “absolute nonstarter,” but she had no real replacement. In her debate with Suozzi, she simply reiterated that she wants to secure her borders, build a wall and tighten asylum rules.

Breitbart News reported on February 14 that the candidate was “hopelessly flawed.” But in a district that favored Biden over Trump in 2020 by 8 points, Suozzi won just 8 percentage points, or half of his 16 points in 2020.
Murphy also acknowledged that Biden’s immigration policies will be harmful to Democrats unless they can reframe the issue.
According to a recent Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll, immigration and the economy are the two biggest issues for voters in the states that decide electors, and Trump has a staggering 49-22 lead over Biden among major independent voters. maintains a competitive advantage. immigration. Compare this to 2020, when Mr. Biden comfortably led Mr. Trump in terms of voters’ confidence in his handling of the year’s top two issues: the economy and the pandemic.
As Democrats embrace the Suozzi/Murphy strategy, Republican leaders are also reframing the crisis with a new focus on the huge economic burden Biden’s immigration is placing on Americans.
So far, Republican committees and candidates have emphasized aspects of Biden’s campaign such as remote terrorism against immigrants, border “caravans” and crime. But on Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) emphasized the growing economic and civic burden on ordinary Americans.
[Americans] They are crying out for the Biden administration to secure the border. This is not a Republican issue. It’s each person’s problem and everyone knows it.
We all know stories of children being poisoned with fentanyl.City [are] overwhelmed by the rapid increase in immigration. House Republicans have shown that we are listening to our government and holding them accountable for this catastrophe. We are listening to the people and taking action to hold Mr. Biden accountable.
“It’s time for Washington to start showing some love to the American people, and Valentine’s Day is a good day to point that out,” Johnson added.
