Voting Certainty, Enthusiasm for GOP Shoots Higher Following Announcement
The president’s permanent moratorium on immigration from third world countries is supported by a large margin and solid majority of voters nationally.
President Donald J. Trump said he will “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover” from bad immigration policy that “eroded gains and living conditions for many” U.S. citizens. The announcement came in the form of a TRUTH Social post after two National Guard service members were shot in Washington D.C. by 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal.
All voting age, racial, and gender groups agree with this decision.
Interestingly, certain to vote shot higher for Republicans from 67.0% at the end of October to 75.5%, putting them nearly on par with Democrats (76.7%) ahead of a key special election in Tennessee for the U.S. House of Representatives. The percentage “extremely” enthusiastic to vote (41.9%) also rose considerably, though still lagged Democrats at 48.7%.
The Public Polling Project conducted by BIG DATA POLL interviewed 2,008 registered voters nationwide from November 28 to December 1, 2025. Interviews conducted online are sourced through Lucid (CINT) and live-agent phone interviews including P2P SMS and text-to-online are sourced from the Aristotle National Voter File Database. Participants who opted for text-to-online were given 24 hours to complete the interview. Results were weighted for sex, age, race and ethnicity, education, and geography. The overall sampling error is ±2.1% at a 95% confidence level. It is important to note that sampling errors for subgroups are higher. All BIG DATA POLL publicly conducted surveys are crowdfunded via the Public Polling Project, supplemented if necessary by BIG DATA POLL and are NOT funded by or affiliated with any candidate, campaign, committee, or political entity.
