Americans’ satisfaction with immigration has fallen to its lowest level in a decade as the share of those who want fewer migrants to enter the country has risen, according to a Gallup poll released Monday.
The level of satisfaction has dropped six points since January 2022 to 28% of those surveyed, and Gallup recalled that in 2008 that satisfaction was shared by just 24% of Americans.
“The flip side of 28% of Americans being satisfied is that 63% are dissatisfied”, the report noted.
Americans’ liking of immigration peaked at 41% in 2018, as President Donald Trump’s policy on migrants tightened.

The proportion of those who are dissatisfied and want there to be less immigration has risen from 19% in 2021 -at the beginning of President Joe Biden’s government- to 40% today.
“This is not as high as it was in the first few years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks (2001) when that level of discontent was between 44% and 52%, but it is the highest level since 2016.″, indicated gallup.
The poll recorded the difference in opinions about immigration guided by the political orientation of the respondents and thus now 71% of Republicans are dissatisfied with immigration, an opinion shared by only 19% of Democrats and 36% of independent voters.
