The GOP boasts significant advantages over its Democratic counterparts on immigration, crime, and other important issues, according to a stunning new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The survey of 1,019 American adults, which was conducted between September 19-21, found that the public trusts Republicans’ plan to address crime to the Democrats’ by 20 points (40%-20%), on immigration by 18 points (40%-22%), on foreign conflicts by 12 points (35%-23%), on the economy by 10 points (34%-24%), and on gun control (32%-28%) and political extremism (30%-26%) by four points.
Democrats, on the other hand, are better trusted on the environment (37%-23%), women’s rights (38%-25%), healthcare (34%-25%), and respect for democracy (31%-29%).
The results mirror those of a Washington Post/Ipsos poll that found the GOP has a seven-point advantage on the economy, a 13-point advantage on immigration, and a whopping 22-point advantage on crime.
“Let’s compare it back to 2022,” mused CNN’s Harry Enten while discussing the latter survey. “I think this kind of gives away the game right here, okay? The GOP is more trusted than the Dems on the economy. It was 12 points in 2022. Slight, slight decline in that lead, but still seven points. How about immigration? It was Republicans by three back in 2022. Look at this! The Republican lead has actually gone up by 10 points. What are you doing Democrats?! My goodness gracious. And on crime the Republicans were up by 13 and now they’re up by 22. The lead again expanding by nearly double digits. So whatever Democrats are doing it ain’t working.”
