    It's also in how the question is phrased and so on. They're basically goading people into agreeing with right-wing stuff in these polls.

    Here's the actual question and results:

    Q30e. Rounding up and deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally, even if it takes setting up encampments guarded by the U.S. military

    Strongly favor 22%

    Favor 25%

    Oppose 28%

    Strongly oppose 22%

    Skipped/ Refused 3%

    and the next question "Which statement comes closest to your view about how the immigration system should deal with immigrants who are currently living in the U.S. illegally? [ROTATE]" shows that over 60% of people say citizenship (56%) or permanent residency (11%)

    which also seems to entirely contradict the previous one lol.
