New Quinnipiac poll is terrible for Trump's agenda:

Despite Donald Trump's victory, American voters are at odds with the president-elect on several key issues, agreeing with the U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision 67 - 30 percent and opposing a wall along the Mexican border 55 - 42 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. 

In fact, support for illegal immigrants being allowed to stay in the U.S., with a path to citizenship, 60 percent, is higher than in any survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe- ack) University Poll since the question was first asked four years ago. Today, another 12 percent of American voters say illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay, but not become citizens and 25 percent say they should be deported

American voters oppose other possible Trump initiatives:
67 - 29 percent against lowering taxes on the wealthy;
48 - 38 percent against removing regulations on businesses and corporations;
57 - 38 percent against making it easier for people to carry guns;
60 - 32 percent against "reducing taxes across the board even if it means increasing the deficit."

Highly suspicious of those Roe vs. Wade Numbers. I expect people simply don't understand what it is. Gallup's annual abortion poll found the pro-choice side ahead by a scant 1% this year, 47-46: http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx

What's to be suspicious of? The median position on abortion in this country is in favor of additional restrictions, but not a outright ban. Additional restrictions on second trimester abortions while leaving first trimester abortions as available as they currently are is what the polls have been showing what people want for some time now.

First Trimester ends after week 13, Roe protects abortion through the 20th week. So by that measure, Roe is to the political left of the country.
