Share of U.S. adults saying immigration is a 'good thing' has jumped from 64% to 79%
Briefly

Recent Gallup polling indicates a significant shift in American attitudes towards immigration, with 79% of U.S. adults now considering it a good thing, up from 64% last year. This pro-immigrant sentiment has increased notably among Republicans and independents. Two-thirds of Republicans now hold a positive view compared to 39% last year. Additionally, the desire to decrease immigration has dropped significantly. Americans, especially under Republican leadership, are becoming more favorable towards pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, reflecting a broader trend of increasing acceptance of immigration in society.
The latest Gallup polling reveals that about 8 in 10 Americans, or 79%, now view immigration as 'a good thing' for the country, showing a marked increase from 64% a year ago.
