ABC/WaPo Poll: Support for Border Wall Soars Among Swing Voters
Breitbart ^ | 14 Jan 2019 | John Binder

Posted on 01/14/2019 8:00:12 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

President Trump’s proposed wall along the United States-Mexico border has soared in popularity with American voters across the board, as he battles a split GOP-Democrat Congress to secure funding for the barrier. The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll reveals a major shift among nearly all demographic groups across the country when it comes to support for a border wall at the southern border.

This time last year, the poll claimed that only 34 percent of voters supported a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. Today, support for the wall has climbed to 42 percent overall. Most notable, swing voters are increasingly supportive of the border wall to control immigration.

Keep the gubmint shut down.

$5 billion to start the wall. Not a penny less.

Pelosi and Schumer can take a long walk.

Off a short pier.

Let’s keep it shutdown until the whole Wall is funded—not just one year.

I think Trump should raise the stakes and demand full funding for the wall from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico. Not Authorization, but Appropriation!

I suspect the actual percent is much more, but this is WaPo/ABC polling after all.

ABC? Wa Compost?

I still dont believe it. Fake news. Then logic dictates the numbers are HIGHER than reported. This must be the “# 10” of the MSM program where to trash Trump NINE of 10 TIMES so they wont look obviously anti Republican..

Yep, is they are reporting such an increase, odds are the actual numbers are better than this.

Maybe Chuck and Nancy can go do a joint speech again, to try to move public opinion?

Who knows, maybe the Chuck and Nancy show helped push people towards the wall????

They weren’t exactly persuasive, in getting public opinion behind them.

In other news, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is prototyping “gulags & gas chambers” to keep the uppity American natives in submission as their Southern replacements arrive past the open borders.

“They weren’t exactly persuasive, in getting public opinion behind them.”

They did make for some great memes, though. I hope Chuck enjoyed the “stop with the memes” irony!

I’m hearing poll numbers all over the place today.
Makes me wonder if some are deliberate disinformation.

I don’t believe this poll, insofar as Americans have been pissed off forty years over this nonsense. That’s one reason Donald Trump was elected President, in fact. Not the only reason to be sure, but an important one. Keep in mind the Republicans floated Jeb Bush. That was the game plan, Bush vs Clinton Episode 3, or whatever it was. Everybody had seen this movie before. Support can’t get any higher, even illegal aliens want a wall at this point.

When they walk off the pier. Chum first, lots of chum. I know it’s cruel for the sharks, but heck they swallow license plates, kegs of nails, and tennis shoes. Chum some Rolaids, if you’re worried about the sharks. Just chum before Nasty and chucky walk off the end.

Put it on the table and make the Dims explain why they don’t want the country protected from invasion. Sadly, they will notice every day they obstruct, the body count rises and the more evil they look.
