Americans are expressing their most favorable views toward immigration in at least three decades, according to a series of recent national polls. A Gallup survey conducted in June found that 79 percent of adults consider immigration a "good thing" for the country, a 15-point jump from 2024 and the highest figure since Gallup began asking the question in 2001. Only 30 percent now want immigration reduced, down from 55 percent a year earlier. Support has risen across the political spectrum, with the share of Republicans who see immigration positively climbing to 65 percent, up from 50 percent in 2024. Overall, 78 percent of respondents favor offering undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship, Gallup said. While overall sentiment warms, appetite for hard-line enforcement continues to wane. A Quinnipiac University poll taken July 10-14 showed voters rejecting the idea of sending undocumented migrants to third countries by a 34-point margin, and disapproving of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s performance 57 percent to 39 percent. The same survey found 64 percent opposing mass deportations. A separate Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed July 16 reported that just 28 percent of adults support immigration arrests at workplaces, compared with 54 percent who oppose the tactic. The poll also put President Donald Trump’s approval rating on immigration at 41 percent, matching the lowest of his second term and down two points from June. Taken together, the findings suggest a broad shift in public opinion toward a more welcoming stance on immigration and growing skepticism of aggressive enforcement measures that have been central to the administration’s policy agenda.
