One sentence that explains the politics of Obama’s immigration actions

According to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, a slim majority of Americans — 52 percent — approve of Obama’s recent executive actions on immigration.

But the most revealing thing in the poll isn’t how Americans react to the new actions; it’s something that hasn’t changed. From the poll release:

Approval (for the president’s handling of immigration overall) among whites, meanwhile, has held essentially even in the last six weeks, now at 26 percent.

So a majority of non-Hispanic white Americans don’t approve of what Obama’s doing about immigration now. But they didn’t approve of what he was doing before these most recent executive actions, either.
