America has “never been more sharply divided” over border security as it is over President Trump’s call for a wall, and neither side is ready to throw in the towel, according to the latest survey on immigration.

A new Pew Research Center survey said the divide in the nation over Trump, immigration, a border wall, and the resulting government shutdown is shocking. “These views have never been more sharply divided along partisan lines,” said the nonpartisan polling outfit.

The highlights point that out:



88 percent of a border wall’s opponents “say it would not be acceptable to pass a bill that includes Trump’s request for wall funding, if that is the only way to end the shutdown.”

Among wall supporters, 72 percent “say a bill to end the shutdown would be unacceptable if it does not include Trump’s funding request.”

Democrats and Republicans disagree on whether the border wall would reduce illegal immigration into the U.S. and on the effect of the shutdown on the country.

79 percent of Democrats say the shutdown is a “very serious problem.”

Just 35 percent of Republicans say the shutdown it is a “very serious problem.”

Trump’s support among Republicans and Republican "leaners" remains high at 80 percent.

96 percent of Democrats and Democratic "leaners" disapprove of his job performance, the widest gap in six decades.
