The cited poll publication contains the listed percentage results (73%, 61%, 58%, 54%) as reported in the excerpt.

Source summary
The White House published an article citing two recent polls (Cygnal and Harvard-Harris) which it says show broad public support for deporting unauthorized immigrants—especially those convicted of crimes—and for state and local cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The piece highlights specific poll figures (for example, 73% saying unauthorized entry is breaking the law; 67% supporting local cooperation with federal authorities) and uses the results to justify continued enforcement and criticize Democrats who oppose ICE.

Latest fact check

I attempted to verify the Cygnal poll cited by the White House. The White House article attributes the numbers to a Cygnal national survey; Cygnal’s website references the survey but the poll memo/deck containing the detailed question wording and topline percentages is not readily accessible from the public Cygnal page. Because I could not retrieve the original Cygnal memo or topline PDF to confirm exact question wording and reported percentages, this check is incomplete and should be retried when the poll memo is available.
