How Voters Feel About Trump's Border Wall

Donald Trump recently said he would block US-based Mexicans from sending cash home in order to fund his controversial border wall, a move that could have serious economic repercussions for Mexico. US President Barack Obama criticized Trump's plan, saying it was half-baked and unworkable. Current and former Mexican leaders have also lambasted Trump's plan for a border wall but how do American voters feel about it?

59 percent of them are opposed to the wall, with the majority of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters backing it. 84 percent of Trump's supporters also firmly favor the border wall. Opposition is strong among Democrats with 83 percent of Clinton supporters and 1 percent of Sanders supporters opposing Trump’s concrete ambitions for the border.
