Title: Growing Partisan Differences in Views of the FBI; Stark Divide over ICE

Summary: A new survey of public attitudes toward federal agencies finds that partisan differences in views of the FBI have increased markedly over the past year. And Americans' opinions about Immigration and Customs Enforcement are deeply polarized: 72 percent of Republicans view ICE favorably, while an identical share of Democrats view it unfavorably. Republicans' views of FBI turn far less positive Overall public views of the FBI remain positive: 65 percent have a favorable opinion of the FBI, while 26 percent view it unfavorably. But since early 2017, the share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents with a positive view of the bureau has fallen 16 percentage points, from 65 percent to 49 percent. Today, Republicans are divided in their views of the FBI (49 percent favorable, 44 percent unfavorable). In January 2017, shortly before President Donald Trump took office, positive views of the FBI among Republicans outnumbered negative opinions by about three-to-one (65 percent to 21 percent). Democrats’ views of the FBI have changed little over this period: 77 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners view the agency favorably, compared with 76 percent early last year. Public views several federal agencies favorably; opinions of ICE are divided. The national survey by Pew Research Center, conducted July 11-15 among 1,007 adults, finds that six-in-ten or more view several federal agencies favorably: the National Park Service (83 percent favorable), the Census Bureau (69 percent), the FBI (65 percent), the CIA (61 percent) and the Department of Health and Human Services (60 percent). However, views of ICE are evenly divided. About as many Americans view Immigration and Customs Enforcement favorably (44 percent) as unfavorably (47 percent).
