Gallup Poll Shows Majority of Americans Dissatisfied with Immigation Levels into U.S.

A Gallup poll published Monday shows that the majority of Americans, 58 percent, are dissatisfied with the levels of immigration into the U.S. today. Just over one-third of Americans, 34 percent, are satisfied with the levels of immigration into the U.S.
The poll findings note that the 58 percent of Americans who are dissatisfied with immigration levels includes 35 percent of all Americans that would prefer immigration be decreased. On the contrary, 9 percent of Americans want to see immigration increased and 14 percent of Americans want to keep immigration levels the same.
“Last year, those dissatisfied were about equally as likely to favor an increase as a decrease, but now the predominant view among the dissatisfied is for less immigration,” the poll write-up stated. “The proportion who want less immigration has nearly doubled from 19% in 2021 and is well above where it was in 2019 (23%) and 2020 (25%). At the same time, calls for more immigration into the country have dropped.”
