Seems a meaningful poll would be what do you want as a solution. Frankly

I'm amazed only 66% oppose separating families. That's like asking if you support motherhood and apple pie. I assume the 27% mostly don't have a clue on the background either, but just go along because that's what the Trump administration is doing.

Now if you ask how many:
- Support passing a law to allow detaining kids with parents longer than 20 days, and then keeping them together as a family in detention centers while the parents go through the process
- Support releasing the entire family and hoping they show up for trial

You'll get very different, and much more meaningful responses than "do you support or oppose separating families".
