New Poll: Strong Support For Trump Priorities And Voters Say Biden’s Health Was Hidden From The Public Looking Back

By Manzanita Miller
A new national poll shows rising approval for President Donald Trump’s commitment to deporting illegal aliens and strengthening diplomatic relations with Middle Eastern nations to serve American interests.

Find out what's happening in Lakelandfor free with the latest updates from Patch.

The survey, fielded by Quantus Insights May 18-20 among 1,000 registered voters shows wide majorities of Americans, including swing voters, approve of President Trump’s deportation strategy and efforts to strengthen U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia and open talks with Iran surrounding its nuclear weapons program.

The survey also shows a broad majority of the public believes Americans were lied to about Former President Joe Biden’s health status when he was president — and most voters say that looking back Biden was not mentally fit to serve during his time in office. Alarmingly, a majority of Democrats now say looking back they do not believe Biden was fit to serve during his presidency either.

President Trump’s citizens-first approach to deportation is winning over a wide majority of Americans including swing voters according to the survey. Majorities of young people, Hispanics, and independents now support the president’s promise to deport illegal aliens.

Voters say by a resounding twenty-two points — 59 percent to 37 percent — that the mass deportation of illegal immigrants would be a good thing for the United States. Just last year, a slim majority of Americans supported deportation, but that number has climbed since President Trump began making it a reality — and currently, close to 60 percent of the country supports deportation.

The coalition of voters who support deportation is extremely diverse. Hispanics support deportation by eight points, 52 percent to 44 percent, and Blacks narrowly support deportation by two points, 46 percent to 44 percent. Two-thirds of whites (63 percent) support deportation, while just 34 percent oppose it. Independents support deportation by eleven points — 52 percent to 41 percent — and a full 30 percent of Democrats now support deportation, though 68 percent oppose it. Young people under thirty support deportation by sixteen points, 55 percent to 39 percent, and all other age groups support deportation by an even wider margin.

President Trump’s bold approach to foreign policy, which includes strengthening relations with Saudi Arabia and opening up dialogue with Iran around its nuclear weapons program, is also drawing strong bipartisan support.

Americans largely agree with Trump’s foreign policy moves, with 59 percent approving of Trump’s Middle East diplomacy, while 35 percent disapprove. Independents support Trump’s Middle East strategy by thirteen points, 52 percent to 39 percent, and over a third of Democrats — 36 percent — support him as well, though 60 percent disapprove.

Perhaps the most scathing takeaway from the survey is the fact that Americans say by a strong majority — 65 percent to 24 percent — that Former President Biden’s health issues were intentionally downplayed or covered up to mislead the public.

Republicans say by 98 points that Biden’s health issues were intentionally covered up or downplayed to mislead the public, while independents say so by thirty-two points, 61 percent to 29 percent.

Although a majority of Democrats — 42 percent — say they do not believe Biden’s health issues were intentionally hidden, a full 36 percent say they do believe Biden’s health issues were hidden.

What is worse, a full 74 percent of voters say that looking back, Biden did not possess the mental and cognitive fitness to effectively serve during his time as president. Just twenty-two percent of Americans say Biden did possess the mental and cognitive fitness to serve.

Democrats believe by twenty-one points, 58 percent to 37 percent, that looking back their president did not possess the mental and cognitive fitness to conduct his role. In other words, only 37 percent of Democrats say that looking back Biden had the mental state to effectively serve as president. Only one percent of Republicans and 28 percent of independents say Biden had the mental and cognitive fitness to effectively serve during his time as president.

This lack of trust in the way Democratic leadership handled Joe Biden’s physical and mental health during his presidency could not come at a worse time for Democrats. The Democratic party is suffering a massive decline in optimism since last summer and credibility for the Democratic brand is at a record low, including among members of their own party.

At the same time, a majority of Americans and an increasing number of swing voters are aligning with President Trump’s America First policy priorities. Political allegiances are shifting as the former “Obama coalition” redefines itself, and a large portion of former moderates and swing voters are moving toward the right.

Part II -

1) During the 2008 presidential campaign, then Senator Barack Obama (IL-D) said this. "But instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English - they'll learn English - you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish..."

2) During that same campaign, Senator Obama (IL-D) promised the "fundamental transformation" of America. That occurred during a campaign stop in Columbia, MO, when he said this. "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

3) Looking back, some may be forgiven if they read into that a more open borders stance that occurred during the Obama-Biden (D) years and accelerated during the Biden-Harris (D) years. By contrast, both the first and nonconcurrent second term of President Trump (R) witnessed serious efforts to stop illegal immigration.

4) Points made by Manzanita Miller in Part I above don't mention those items, but the are arguably related to the trends she wrote about. In the 2024 campaign, larger numbers of Hispanics and Blacks voted for Trump than in 2016. Note that this writer is a son of legal immigrants and is married to an legal immigrant, all of whom became U.S. citizens.
