Wednesday’s survey of Morning consultation assessed how 28 Biden executive actions have fared with the public.

Only 39 percent of respondents said they supported Biden’s plans to allow an additional 110,000 refugees to enter the United States, raising a threshold that has been drastically reduced under Trump to a historic low of 15,000.

Opposition to increasing the refugee limit has been widely divided along the lines of the party, although the 37 percent of the independents who oppose it represent the “highest level of dissent against the tracked orders”.

Biden’s other immigration and justice policies did better with voters.

The creation of a task force to bring together separate parents and children on the border under the Trump administration was supported by 60% of voters, while another that led a review of Trump-era immigration policies was supported by 55% of voters.

But these measures received less support than a coronavirus-related plan to extend a moratorium on evictions or to demand a mask on public transport, which won the support of 67% and 78% of voters, respectively.

Many of Biden’s more specific immigration policies have won the support of about half of those interviewed. Fifty-one percent of respondents refused to build the border wall, while 38% opposed the move. Forty-eight percent supported Biden’s choice to terminate the so-called Muslim ban that limited travel to many Muslim-majority countries, more than 41 percent who do not.

Plans to include undocumented migrants in the census came back with 45% of voters, while Biden’s call to stop Trump’s “stay in Mexico” policy, which prevents migrants from entering the United States to apply for asylum, was supported 46% of voters.

A Justice Department memorandum that ended the use of private prisons for federal inmates was supported by 48% of voters, while repealing the ban on transgenders serving in the armed forces with 53% support.

The polls have been conducted with almost 2,000 participants in three windows since Biden took office and have a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
