The percentage of Americans who think immigration is a “good thing” is the lowest it has been since 2014, according to a Gallup poll published Wednesday that shows 68% of respondents support immigration in 2023.
The survey results represent a 2-point decrease since last year and a 9-point decrease since 2020 when the share of Americans who view immigration positively reached an all-time high of 77%. The percentage of respondents who think immigration is a “bad thing” has likewise increased over the last three years, with 27% currently having a negative view.
