'Tide shift?' Ex-Trump aide flags 'telling' data that shows GOP falling out of 'lockstep'
A former aide to President Donald Trump flagged new data that suggests Republicans are falling out of "lockstep" with his policy priorities.
The ongoing immigration crackdown in Minneapolis has led to the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by a federal agent and violent scenes captured on video as government forces clash with protesters and passersby alike, and former White House communications director Mike Dubke told "CNN This Morning" that voters were appalled by the chaos.
"I look at this polling and I look at some of the other polling that has come out recently on other issues, and I think the real telling thing and maybe we'll get to these numbers is when you break down the polls," Dubke said.
A new CNN poll found 56 percent of respondents believe Good's killing was an inappropriate use of force by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, while more than half believe ICE tactics were making cities less safe.
"I'm bringing this up because there's often a conversation to me that goes, this is bad," said host Audie Cornish, "and someone goes, but you voted for it, and then everyone's supposed to be like, well, they voted for it. So do you see a tide shift or do you think this is heat of the moment?"
Dubke said he believes Trump voters are turning against his mass deportation campaign as a result of the ICE raids and ensuing mayhem in cities across the country.
