OHPI/ABC15 Poll: Low Support for Abolishing ICE – On Both Sides of the Aisle

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — August 20, 2018

PHOENIX (August 20, 2018) – The last two polls from OH Predictive Insights show that there are some commonalities between Republicans and Democrats — they don't support abolishing ICE.

OH Predictive Insights and ABC15 Arizona (OHPI/ABC15) teamed up to find out the support or opposition for abolishing ICE.

"The numbers suggest running on a pro-abolish ICE platform this election year would not be a good idea if you want to hold your base of support — on either side of the aisle," says Mike Noble, Managing Partner and Chief Pollster at OH Predictive Insights. "I was a bit surprised on the results from the Democratic primary sample — expected more support for abolishing ICE."

OHPI conducted two separate surveys: One for a likely 2018 GOP Primary sample and another with a likely 2018 Democratic Primary sample. Both asked the same question: Do you support or oppose abolishing ICE?

Methodology: Two IVR telephone surveys were completed by OH Predictive Insights in partnership with ABC15-Phoenix on August 14–15, 2018.

• Democratic Primary sample: 90% Democrats, 10% Independent voters, 100% landline. Sample size: 589 completed surveys, MoE ±4.04%.
• Republican Primary sample: 89.3% Republican, 10.7% Independent voters, 100% landline. Sample size: 578 completed surveys, MoE ±4.08%.
