- 39 percent say they support cutting the number of legal immigrants allowed in the U.S. by half, while 55 percent are against it.
- 45 percent say President Donald Trump's enforcement of immigration laws is too tough, compared to 30 percent who say it is about right and 22 percent who believe it is not tough enough.
- 79 percent support requiring employers to verify new hires are in the U.S. legally, while 19 percent oppose it.
The poll, conducted Sept. 18 - 21, surveyed 1,002 adults. It has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
