Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : "He has secured record funding for border security," Jean-Pierre said.
54% : "It's a strategy we are seeing with other policies as well, including abortion, COVID responses, and government spending," Foreman said.
43% : "If somebody were breaking into your house to do something bad, you would respond with force -- yet why don't we do that at the southern border," DeSantis said at a news conference later in the day.
40% : Political communications expert Josh Scacco at the University of South Florida said border security had become a flagship issue for the GOP this cycle.
40% : "He also does not have direct experience with the southern border, though deals with a different set of immigration-related issues in Florida."
31% : "If the cartels are cutting through the border wall, trying to run product into this country, they're going to end up stone-cold dead as a result of that bad decision."
26% : Trump touted his work on the border wall, promised to "declare war and defeat the cartels," plus what sounded like mass deportations if reelected.
23% : For example, DeSantis said he will finish the job of building a border wall while subtly saying that migration across the southern border increased under Trump and then shouting that the crisis has exploded under Biden."
