Poll reveals split views on presidential versus judicial power

Donald Trump is currently engaged in a battle with judges over his immigration policies. He has expressed strong criticism of judges who try to block his plans. Recently, Trump called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg. This judge has ruled against the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members. In a new poll, registered voters are divided on whether the president has too much power or if the courts are overstepping their authority. The poll shows that 43% believe the president has too much power. Meanwhile, 39% think he has the right amount, and 6% feel the executive branch is too weak. Regarding the courts, 28% of voters think the judiciary has too much power, while 50% believe it is just right. Trump argues that his actions on immigration reflect the will of the voters. He insists that judges should not interfere with his mandate. In response to Trump's impeachment calls, Chief Justice John Roberts pushed back. He said that removing a judge over dissatisfaction with a ruling goes against established legal principles. As this situation unfolds, conversations about the balance of power among the government branches continue to be a hot topic among voters.
