Immigration is a top issue to American voters this year, as a record number say the situation at the southern border is a major problem or an outright emergency, according to the latest Fox News national survey released Thursday.
Nearly 9 in 10 voters say the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is an emergency (44%) or a major problem (43%). That’s an increase since February, when about 8 in 10 felt it was an emergency (41%) or major problem (37%).
Concern with the border increased most notably among those under age 30 (+20 points), Black voters (+19), Democrats (+14), Hispanic voters (+12), and women (+12).
In January 2019, when the question was first asked during the Trump administration, 22% said the border was an emergency. That’s doubled to 44% today.
More blame the Biden administration’s lack of enforcement at the border (71% a great deal or some) than former President Trump and the Senate GOP for failed immigration legislation (57%).
