Recent independent polls reveal that a majority of likely voters and Trump&#8217;s supporters prefer he concentrate on domestic concerns, such as the economy, rather than international hotspots like Nigeria and Mali. While many approve of Trump&#8217;s handling of foreign policy, including his role in resolving the Israel-Hamas conflict and imposing tariffs on China, his proposal to issue around 600,000 visas to Chinese workers has drawn significant backlash from his core supporters. Critics argue this plan undermines American workers and fuels concerns over immigration. Social media discussions, including posts from the late Charlie Kirk, have amplified opposition to the visa program and broader legal immigration. Despite the push for a domestic focus, many voters still support U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-approves-temporary-lift-of-debt-ceiling-averts-default\/\" title=\"Senate Approves Temporary Lift of Debt Ceiling, Averts Default\">foreign aid programs<\/a> that use American-made products to boost global health and national security, seeing such aid as aligned with trump&#8217;s &#8220;America first&#8221; agenda.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Voters want Trump focused on domestic, not foreign issues<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2395897\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/news\/white-house\/\">White House<\/a>, embroiled in a heated debate over the president&rsquo;s plan to invite hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers into the United States, is being pressured by voters to focus more on domestic issues and less on foreign policy.<\/p>\n<p>In two new independent polls, majorities of likely voters and supporters of President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> want him to tackle the Main Street issues that he campaigned on last year, rather than world hot spots such as Nigeria and Mali.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3883311\/maga-land-troubles-growing-for-trump-and-gop\/\">MAGA-land troubles growing for Trump and GOP<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3882440\/armys-adolf-hitler-wwii-boot-camp-training-manual-revealed\/\">Army&rsquo;s Hitler boot camp training manual revealed<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3881420\/joe-scarborough-spins-government-shutdown-deal-democratic-win\/\">Joe Scarborough spins shutdown cave-in as win: Liberal Media Scream<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/3404127\/h-1b-visas-are-hurting-american-students\/\">OPINION: H-1B VISAS ARE HURTING AMERICAN STUDENTS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a Rasmussen Reports survey, for example, 62% said &ldquo;it would be better if Trump spent more time dealing with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rasmussenreports.com\/public_content\/politics\/trump_administration_second_term\/trump_gets_good_marks_on_foreign_policy_but_voters_want_more_domestic_focus\">domestic issues like the economy<\/a>.&rdquo; That included 54% of Republicans and 61% of independent voters.<\/p>\n<p>A just-released Big Data Poll found that 51.9% feel Trump is &ldquo;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bigdatapoll.com\/blog\/trumps-approval-rating-declines-further-in-october\/\">too focused<\/a>&rdquo; on foreign policy.
