More say rump going too far on deportations

by Sarah Fortinsky - 04/30/25 11:27 AM ET

A growing number of Americans say President Trump has gone too far in his efforts to deport migrants living in the U.S. illegally, according to the latest CNN poll.

A slim majority, 52 percent, said in the mid-April poll that the president has “gone too far” with deportations, up from 45 percent in February.

One-third of respondents say Trump’s approach has “been about right,” down six points from 39 percent in February; and just 14 percent say Trump has “not gone far enough,” a two-point drop from the February poll.

Twice as many people said President Trump deserves a grade of F rather than an A for how he's handled his first 100 days in office, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

Forty-five percent said Trump deserves the failing mark, compared to 23% who would pass him with flying colors. It's understandable that partisans would have strongly polarized views of the president, but it's also notable that half of independents said he deserves an F, and only a slim majority of Republicans would give him an A.

The poll of 1,439 adults, conducted from April 21-23, finds Trump's political standing in decline since he was sworn in for a second term. It's driven by views of how he's handling the economy and tariffs, but a slim majority now also disapproves of how he's handling immigration, which had been a relative strength.

Trump's overall approval rating is down to 42%, including just 36% among independents.
