Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : In August 2020, the last comparable month from when Trump was in office, Border Patrol recorded 47,283 encounters at the border.
32% : Trump himself has ruled out supporting birth control restrictions.
28% : Trump touted unproven reports that Haitian migrants had stolen and eaten neighborhood pets, prompting a rebuke from the debate moderators, a slew of fact-checks, and a viral musical remix of his claim.
24% : As president, Trump tried to end TPS designations for a number of migrant groups, including Haitians.
7% : In fact, Trump has arguably gone further than the Harris-Walz ticket on supporting IVF, proposing a universal coverage mandate for IVF treatments/ Trump has disavowed Project 2025 and had no role in writing it.
6% : But overall, illegal immigration has been substantially higher under Biden and Harris than under Trump.
