Two months into President Trump’s second term, a new Fox News poll shows strong public support for several of his key policy proposals—including deporting illegal immigrants and restricting transgender participation in women’s sports.
Key Facts:
- A Fox News poll released Thursday showed 63% of voters support deporting illegal immigrants.
- Banning trans athletes from women’s sports received 68% support, the most popular policy tested.
- Other popular policies included making English the official language (66%) and boosting fossil fuel production (53%).
- Trump’s proposed Greenland annexation was the least supported policy.
- The president’s approval rating stood at 49% approve vs. 51% disapprove.
The Rest of The Story:
The Fox News poll, conducted by bipartisan pollsters Daron Shaw (R) and Chris Anderson (D), gauged support for a broad array of Trump administration policies.
Cultural issues and immigration drew the highest levels of approval, with clear majorities backing deportations, traditional gender recognition, and English as the nation’s official language.
Support was mixed on economic proposals.
While 57% of voters said much of government spending is wasteful, majorities were wary of slashing the federal workforce or eliminating DEI programs.
Tariff policy showed a similar divide: 55% backed tariffs on China, but fewer supported tariffs on Mexico (43%) or Canada (38%).
President Trump’s net approval was slightly negative.
Men and white voters were more likely to approve than women and minority groups.
Meanwhile, Democrats are facing historic lows in public support.
CNN reported that only 29% of Americans view the Democratic Party favorably—the worst result since the poll began in 1992.
CNN is forced to admit Americans support the deportations:
“63%, according to the latest Fox News poll, say that they favor deporting those immigrants. So that’s a pretty high number.”
Can we deport CNN, too? 😂pic.twitter.com/o0Sgj24IdZ

Commentary:
The numbers in this poll shouldn’t shock anyone paying attention.
Deporting illegal migrants is one of President Trump’s most talked-about promises, and it resonates with a large portion of the electorate for a reason.
Americans want law and order.
The open border policies pushed in recent years have brought chaos, crime, and cost.
What’s more revealing is how widespread the support is.
When 63% of voters—including independents and even some Democrats—support mass deportation, it’s a clear sign that this isn’t a fringe view.
The American people are tired of being gaslit.
For years, political elites and corporate media tried to downplay the border crisis.
They claimed it was overblown, or worse, that mass illegal immigration was a net positive.
The public isn’t buying it anymore.
The Biden administration’s refusal to enforce immigration law, along with sanctuary policies in blue cities, only made the issue more urgent.
Trump is offering a return to basic national sovereignty—and voters are responding.
Democrats ignore this support at their own risk.
They’ve boxed themselves in, defending policies that even their own voters don’t like.
The polling numbers on DEI, gender identity, and fossil fuels all point in the same direction: the public wants a course correction.
If this poll is a sign of things to come, Trump’s immigration stance could be one of the strongest weapons in his political arsenal.
The Bottom Line:
President Trump’s immigration agenda has the backing of a solid majority of voters.
Cultural and national identity issues are shaping up to be major flashpoints in his second term.
Democrats risk alienating the public by doubling down on unpopular policies.
This poll shows the American people are looking for leadership that puts the nation’s interests first.
