A Gallup poll reveals that 79% of U.S. adults support immigration, reflecting a significant increase in positive attitudes over the past year. Concerns regarding immigration surged during the Biden administration due to rising illegal border crossings, but Republican sentiment has rebounded to pre-surge levels. Support for tougher enforcement has declined, with more Americans favoring pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. While Democrats' support remains high at 91%, overall, there's a notable shift towards acceptance of immigration as beneficial and less support for stringent measures against it.
A record-high 79% of U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing for the country, according to a Gallup poll released on Friday.
Support for tougher border control and aggressive deportation policies has eased since last year, losing appeal among Democrats and independents.
The recent jump in perceptions of immigration being a good thing is largely owed to a sharp increase among Republicans and independents.
Democrats' belief that immigration is beneficial to the country is also up slightly, to a record-high 91%. This is consistent with their positive perspective on immigration over the past decade.
