过去两年里,美国移民和海关执法局对其在执行特朗普政府强硬移民政策中扮演的角色引发了广泛的愤怒——而愤怒似乎已经持续,一项新的研究发现,移民和海关执法局是美国最不受欢迎的联邦机构。
出版皮尤研究中心新的民意测验询问了美国人对美国联邦机构的看法。
皮尤研究中心在9月5日至16日对2004名美国成年人进行的一项全国性调查中询问了16家机构,其中14家机构受到公众的好评多于负面评价。
然而,洲际交易所不是其中之一。事实上,移民局被认定为“调查中唯一被问到的机构”,被“负面看待……多于正面”,54%的受访者表示他们对移民局持负面看法,相比之下,42%的受访者表示满意。
不足为奇的是,对移民局的态度在很大程度上是沿着党派路线下降的,70%的共和党人和倾向于共和党的独立人士对移民归化局持赞同态度,而只有19%的民主党人和倾向于民主党的独立人士持同样的看法。
美国人喜欢哪个机构?一个是美国邮政服务。
邮政服务被认为是最受欢迎的机构,90%的受访者支持它的努力,相比之下,只有8%的人似乎不满意。
除了邮政服务,美国人似乎也支持国家公园服务(86%对7%)、国家航空航天局(81%对10%)和疾病控制和预防中心(80%对12%)。
联邦调查局也获得了相对有利的评价,70%的受访者支持该机构,相比之下只有22%。
有趣的是,大多数共和党人和民主党人都对联邦调查局表示赞同,“这反映了共和党人的看法在近年来有所下降后有所反弹,”皮尤指出。
紧随联邦调查局之后的是人口调查局、社会保障局、中央情报局、联邦储备局、卫生和公共服务部、环境保护局、国内税收署和司法部,这些机构得到了共和党人比民主党人更多的好评。
皮尤指出:“现在约有一半的民主党人对DOJ持赞同态度(49%),自去年以来下降了11个百分点,低于2017年1月唐纳德·特朗普总统就职时近四分之三对该部门持积极态度的民主党人。”。
与此同时,“共和党人对司法部的看法在这段时间里变得更加积极:现在61%的共和党人表示他们对DOJ持积极态度,高于2017年1月的47%。"
皮尤研究中心还发现,美国人对政府“规模和范围”的偏好存在分歧,48%的成年人表示,他们更喜欢服务较少的小政府,相比之下,46%的人表示,他们更喜欢服务较多的大政府。
研究人员发现,自2017年以来,这种观点的平衡几乎没有改变。
Over the past two years, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has sparked widespread outrage over its role in enforcing the Trump administration's hardline immigration policies—and it appears that anger has stuck, with a new study finding ICE to be the least favorable federal agency in America.
Published by the Pew Research Center on Thursday, the new poll asked people in the U.S. for their opinions on the country's federal agencies.
"Of the 16 agencies asked about in a national survey by Pew Research Center, conducted Sept. 5-16 among 2,004 U.S. adults, 14 are viewed more favorably than unfavorably by the public," Pew said in a summary of its findings.
ICE, however, was not one of them. In fact, the immigration agency was identified as the "sole agency asked about in the survey" that was "viewed more negatively…than positively," with 54 percent of those polled saying they held an unfavorable view of the agency, compared with 42 percent who felt favorably.
Unsurprisingly, attitudes towards the immigration agency fell largely along partisan lines, with 70 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents having a favorable view of ICE, while just 19 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents felt the same way.
Which agencies did Americans like? The U.S. Postal Service for one.
The Postal Service was deemed the most likeable agency, with 90 percent of those polled in favor of its efforts, compared with just 8 percent who appeared unsatisfied.
In addition to the Postal Service, Americans also appeared to favor the National Park Service (86 percent compared to 7 percent), NASA (81 percent compared to 10 percent) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (80 percent compared to 12 percent).
The FBI also had relatively favorable reviews, with 70 percent of those polled in favor of the agency, compared with 22 percent.
Interestingly, majorities of both Republicans and Democrats expressed favorable views of the FBI, "reflecting a rebound in GOP perceptions after a decline in recent years," Pew noted.
