A new CNN/ORC poll out Wednesday revealed that voters aren't sure whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton would best handle immigration issues. Voters were nearly evenly split on which presidential candidate would do the better job, with 49 percent putting their trust in Clinton and 47 percent in Trump.
The divide was driven largely by a differing sense of what the top immigration priority is: For those who trust Clinton, it is figuring out how to ensure undocumented immigrants in the country can stay. For Trump backers, it is preventing immigrants from entering the country illegally.
