The latest AP story on our recent poll highlights a broad opposition to hardline immigration enforcement, while diving into respondent narratives that add critical nuance to the conversation.

The data from our newest survey with AP-NORC is out, and shows that our communities are deeply concerned with the economy and largely disapprove of current immigration enforcement policies.

Key findings from survey show:

67% believe the administration has gone too far on deportations, and 73% hold an unfavorable view of ICE.

73% of AAPI adults say the current administration has hurt the cost of living, with large percentages citing groceries, housing, and healthcare as major financial stressors.

A majority of AAPIs think that Trump has gone too far in using the U.S. military to intervene in foreign countries. 71% of adults say that Trump has gone too far and only 4% say he has not gone far enough.
