OHPI/ ABC15 POLL: Low Support for Abolishing ICE - On Both Sides of the Aisle

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, a Phoenix-based research polling company. “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: This IVR telephone survey was completed by OH Predictive Insights in partnership with ABC15-Phoenix (OHPI/ABC15) on August 14 and 15, 2018, from a likely Arizona 2018 Democratic Primary voter sample. The sample demographics accurately reflected party affiliation, geographic location, gender, and age. 90% of respondents were Democrats and 10% were Independent voters. 100% of respondents were completed via landline. The sample size was 589 completed surveys, with a MoE of +/- 4.04%.
