Only 38 percent of voters support the declaration, the survey shows, down 1 point over the past three weeks.
Overall, 33 percent of voters said they would be more likely to vote for their senators or representatives if they supported Trump’s emergency declaration. But more, 45 percent, said they would be less likely to support legislators who backed the declaration. Just 11 percent said it wouldn’t make a difference.
The partisan divides suggest this week‘s Senate vote could put the squeeze on Republican incumbents in battleground states — Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado, Susan Collins of Maine and Thom Tillis of North Carolina are expected to join Democrats in voting to disapprove of Trump’s declaration. Similarly, Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama, the most vulnerable Democrat running for another term next year, could find himself crosswise with his state’s Republican-leaning voters.
Trump’s approval ratings in the poll are unchanged from last week: 41 percent of voters approve of the job he is doing, while 54 percent disapprove. Just 36 percent of poll respondents would vote to reelect Trump if the 2020 election were held today, while 55 percent would vote for someone else.
