Polling Shows Waning Enthusiasm for Congressional Action on Dreamers
Results come as Democratic lawmakers express willingness to go to the mat on issue

As Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill continue to push for a permanent legal fix for so-called “Dreamers,” young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, polling shows fewer voters are viewing their plight as a top priority for Congress.
In the new Morning Consult/Politico survey of 1,991 registered voters conducted from Nov. 2-6, 29 percent of respondents said passing a bill to grant Dreamers protection from deportation should be a top priority for congressional legislators, down 10 percentage points from a Sept. 7-11 survey fielded immediately after President Donald Trump announced his intention to wind down the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which allows roughly 690,000 Dreamers to legally reside in the United States and work with government licenses. (Both surveys carried a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.)
The declining enthusiasm for granting those protections was shared by partisans of all stripes. Democrats (from 53 percent to 44 percent) and Republicans (from 28 percent to 19 percent) both registered 9-point drops over the time frame, while enthusiasm among independents dropped 12 points, from 35 percent to 23 percent.
