A Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll suggests a difficult balancing act for Biden in his reelection campaign.
Swing-state voters see US-Mexico border security as a greater priority than the foreign policy crises that are increasingly dominating President Joe Biden’s attention, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll shows.
About three times as many voters said immigration is their top issue in the 2024 presidential contest as those who said the same about the Israel-Hamas war. Some 68% of respondents said they approve of funding for border protection, a larger share than the 61% who back aid to Israel or the 58% who favor aid to Ukraine.
