Meanwhile, 90% of Republicans approve of Trump’s work while just 2% of Democrats approve. On the state level, 49% approve of the job being done by Gov. Tony Evers while 44% disapprove.
The results came from a poll that asked questions to 864 registered Wisconsin voters between Feb. 19 and 26.

Wisconsin voters were supportive of the deportation of immigrants by the Trump Administration with 61% supporting the initiative and 38% opposed. Those voters, however, were evenly split at 50% a side when asked if those who have been in the country for years, have jobs and no criminal record should be deported.
Wisconsin voters were also supportive of requiring photo ID to vote with 77% supporting the measure and 22% opposed.
