Poll: Voters overwhelmingly approve of border deal, want Trump to sign it
Registered voters overwhelmingly want President Trump to sign a bipartisan border security bill ahead of a Feb. 15 deadline, according to a new Hill-HarrisX poll.
Sixty percent of respondents in the Feb. 12-13 survey said they want Trump to approve a border compromise negotiated by a bicameral conference committee that includes $1.38 billion for fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Twenty-four percent said they want the president to accept the budget framework to avoid a shutdown and then declare a national emergency to expand the border barrier, while 16 percent said they want Trump to hold out for a better deal, even if it might result in another partial government shutdown.
All of the main provisions of the border compromise bill — including Department of Homeland Security funding and erecting a fence but not a concrete wall — received support from a majority of respondents.
