On immigration, just 43 percent approved of Trump's handling of the issue, while 54 percent disapprove. That marks a slip from last month when Quinnipiac's survey showed him at 45 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval.
The shift comes as Trump deployed the National Guard and later 700 Marines to Los Angeles, responding to reports of violence targeting law enforcement, particularly Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents carrying out deportation raids. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said state and local authorities could handle the situation without the National Guard, but Trump said he was reestablishing law and order after failures by local and state leadership.
The move is part of Trump's pledge to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history, which has included sweeping ICE raids nationwide.
Protests have erupted in major cities including Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, and Washington, D.C., in response. Despite the backlash, polling shows Trump's tough-on-immigration stance is resonating with much of the electorate.
