Trump's Wall of Defense

August 7, 2018 at 7:37 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new Axios/SurveyMonkey poll finds “there’s an almost perfect match between President Trump’s approval ratings on immigration — including his overall policies and his proposed border wall — and his job approval rating.”

“The fact that his job approval rating (44%) is so closely aligned with his immigration numbers suggests that Trump’s immigration policies play a huge role in how the public sees his presidency. If they’re with him on immigration, they’re with him on everything. And his wall of defense is rural voters — the only one of the five key voter groups that’s sticking with him.”

That's not really how numbers work. The poll doesn't prove that correlation. Squinch Aug 2018 #1
But there's a good chance the supposition is correct. Nitram Aug 2018 #2
