Most Americans oppose funding President Donald Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a poll released Thursday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The president gets higher marks for efforts to boost defense spending and beef up the border patrol.
Even many of Trump’s supporters reject his proposed budget cuts to scientific and medical research, the poll found.
The poll results come at a crucial time. Congressional Republicans and Democrats are wrestling over whether to include a down payment for the wall — financed by U.S. taxpayers instead of Mexico, despite Trump’s repeated promises — in the spending bill to keep the government open at the end of the month. …

AP Poll: Clinton Up 14 Points Nationwide
October 26, 2016

Your throw in NY and CA a@@holes, and it might be possible.
I couldn’t give a #### if he lost the popular by 5 percent, as long as he wins the electoral again.
And OF COURSE they poll illegals, so what can one expect.
I oppose it too, I want Mexico to fund it.
What a load of hog wash
Millions of people who went to the rallies and shouted “Build that wall” suddenly don’t want it? How stupid do you have to be to believe these polls?
Trump campaigned on the border wall and won. The AP’s poll means diddly.
Exactly.
Not buying it.
Trump got elected because of that wall.
Gads, I really hate the press.
May they die in very uncomfortable circumstances.
Well, they sure got the results of the election right....
Oh...
Wait...
It’s the AP and the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center. Thought that would be self-explanatory.
Funny stuff right dere, good post.
I want a wall a few feet from it, an electric fence, few feet from it, a moat with alligators, a few feet from it, 15 thousand U.S. Marines. Throw in a drone or two.
And frickin’ sharks with lasers attached to their heads.
I never did care who paid for it. I just want it built. This is one of the few times I as a taxpayer don’t care about the bill. Not having the wall will ultimately destroy America.

AP-Associated Propaganda
If they knew who Trump’s supporters were, and where to find them, then their exit polls would not have been so far off last Fall, would they?
They didn’t ask me.
What’s cheaper, the wall or all the freebies we dish out for illegals? But, but it’s about the children!!!
“Most Americans oppose funding President Donald Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border” That’s because we think Mexico should pay for it!
“Yeah, Trump supporters really responded to this poll, lol.”
They probably asked...”If President Trump doesn’t get the money anywhere else, would you agree to pay 100% for the wall?”
You can get any result you want by framing the question...push polling.
