It’s also in how the question is phrased and so on. They’re basically goading people into agreeing with right-wing stuff in these polls.
Here’s the actual question and results:
Q30e. Rounding up and deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally, even if it
takes setting up encampments guarded by the U.S. military
Strongly
favor
22%
Favor
25%
Oppose
28%
Strongly
oppose
22%
Skipped/
Refused
3%
and the next question “Which statement comes closest to your view about how the immigration system
should deal with immigrants who are currently living in the U.S. illegally? [ROTATE]” shows that over 60% of people say citizenship (56%) or permanent residency (11%)
which also seems to entirely contradict the previous one lol.
I agree. Like, we could get the number down by asking the question a different way, too, but ultimately the issue is that ~97% of votes will go to candidates who will increase the power, reach, and budget of ICE and the military.
The millennial demographic is the most disappointing thing about this. How is that this group ISN’T the one that believes overwhelmingly in non negotiable human rights for immigrants?
Okay I see the criticism, but would the more honest title:
approximately 47% of Americans aged 30 and older believe immigrants should be put in militarized camps
really have changed the conclusions and implications?
It’s fucking disgusting no matter how you look at it.
I suppose that number might go down to 30% at best if 18-29 year olds were properly sampled.

The main conclusion I got from the survey is that the majority of crackers want to shove their POC neighbors into concentration camps.
