'No words': Jaw-dropping Fox News poll leaves analysts speechless
A jaw-dropping poll conducted by Fox News left some analysts speechless on Wednesday.
Fox News polled registered voters between January 23 and 26 about what they thought of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents' efforts to deport people from Minneapolis. Respondents were asked to decide whether ICE was being "too aggressive," "not aggressive enough," or "about right."
Respondents mostly disagreed with ICE's tactics, with 59% saying the agents were "too aggressive." But another 17% of respondents said agents were not aggressive enough, a figure some analysts found shocking.
The poll was released amid tensions over the administration's actions in Minneapolis. Over the last month, federal officers have fatally shot two American citizens, which has ignited calls for two Trump administration officials to step down or be fired.
Political analysts shared their reactions to the poll on social media.
"No words," HuffPost senior political reporter S.V. Daté posted on X.
"Welp," Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) posted on X.
"All 17 percent of Americans are on Twitter and staffing the Trump admin," writer Jaid Jilani posted on X.
"Damn, Fox. I guess Rupert sees the financial downsides of a civil war," political commentator Jim Stewartson posted on X.
