Reviewed polling evidence · starting profile

Federal deportation policy and long-term noncriminal residents

Baseline proposition: Deport long-term employed immigrants without criminal records who are living in the United States illegally

Evidence outcome: Oppose

The deterministic population-consensus-without-cross-poll-averaging.v1 method classified the reviewed evidence as oppose for the stated baseline proposition. It did not average unlike polls or establish a campaign position.

Method boundary

Directions apply only to the exact baseline proposition and do not establish a candidate position.

Reported margin of error is plus or minus 6.2 percentage points; sampling error is only one potential source of error.

Sampling, weighting, and limitations

Sampling: Full-probability hybrid Wisconsin registration-based sample and probability-based SSRS Opinion Panel, administered by web and live-interviewer telephone in English.

Weighting: Design weighting, source-specific nonresponse adjustment, compositing, and calibration to Wisconsin registered-voter demographic, 2020 presidential-result, and partisanship benchmarks.

  • Published percentages are rounded to whole numbers.
  • The survey was administered in English only by web and live-interviewer telephone.
  • Question wording, nonresponse, mode, order, measurement, and other unmeasured errors may affect the result.
  • Must remain separate from the general deportation wording; the framing materially changes the result.
  • The statewide registered-voter result remains separate from affected-community evidence and member results.

Missing voices

  • Immigrants and mixed-status families
  • Employers and workers
  • Local governments and service providers
  • People affected by crime and public-safety policy

Conflicts

No conflict exists within the single admitted item. That does not establish broader agreement or replace missing evidence.
