Interesting Immigration Takeaways in The Economist/YouGov Poll
Senior citizens and older Gen-Xers are particularly not happy
By Andrew R. Arthur on May 28, 2021
The Economist and YouGov just released a poll conducted between May 22 and May 25, which surveyed 1,500 U.S. adults. There were some interesting immigration takeaways in that survey — if you know where to find them.
Immigration came in fourth place as the issue most important to those polled, with 9 percent (there were 14 issues to choose from). It trailed “jobs and the economy” and “health care” (tied at 16 percent) and “climate change and the environment” (12 percent).
The results were not uniform, however, as immigration was third among men at 12 percent, just behind “jobs and the economy” (16 percent) and “healthcare” (12 percent).
Note that 81 percent of respondents identified immigration as an important issue (almost half — 49 percent said it was very important), and just 6 percent described it as “unimportant”.
