Contributing sentiments towards policy:

35% : Springfield, northeast of Dayton, has been at the center of America's increasingly bizarre, meme-filled immigration discourse ever since Trump, the Republican nominee for president, said dogs and cats were being eaten by immigrants there -- and since those claims were repeated by J.D. Vance, the Ohio senator and Trump's running mate.
32% : And Trump says he may visit soon -- making Springfield the de facto battleground over race and immigration in this year's presidential campaign and its people bystanders in a controversy they generally did not seek nor want.
29% : Yet Baker said it might still be an effective campaign trail talking point for Trump and Vance, as they seek to drive home their hardline stances on immigration.
24% : And Trump himself said at a recent rally he plans to visit -- suggesting he might not make it out alive -- despite local leaders raising concerns about resources that are already spread thin.
19% : More: 'Get them the hell out': Trump continues attacks on immigrants in Ohio town'We are looking for work'Plenty of Michigan towns would recognize the story of Springfield: manufacturing jobs leave, residents depart, median incomes plummet.
