Democratic swing districts back wall, Trump immigration offer

Voters in congressional districts that President Trump won in 2016 but flipped Democratic last November support his border wall and believe Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi should have accepted his immigration deal to end the partial government shutdown.

A poll of 10 representative districts, some of which Trump won by a big margin but then voted a Democrat into office in 2018, also found that a plurality approve of the president's job performance, 49 percent to 48 percent.

What's more, the survey provided to Secrets found that voters in districts in New York, Minnesota, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Maine, Virginia and New Jersey believe that Trump's immigration compromise dismissed by Pelosi should have been accepted in the shutdown struggle.

A plurality of voters in these districts approve of President Trump's job performance, including an overwhelming majority of Republican voters.

By a 53%-43% margin, voters in these DEM-held congressional districts support "Building a border wall or barrier to improve security between the U.S. and Mexico."

A majority of voters believe that Democrats should have accepted Trump's offer of three years of protection for dreamers in exchange for $5.7 billion in funding a border wall.

After voters hear more about the need for a wall or barrier to improve national security, they move toward the president's stance and away from Speaker Pelosi's position.
