In a marked reversal from a year ago, more Americans now have positive views about immigration, and a record high believes it is good for the nation.

A new poll from Gallup Friday shows a steep drop among Republicans wanting immigration levels into the U.S. decreased – falling from 88 percent in 2024 down to 48 percent in June. The same survey showed an uptick in Republicans who see immigration as having a positive effect on the U.S.

Just months after President Trump returned to office amid a wave of anti-immigration sentiment, the share of US adults saying immigration is a “good thing” for the country has jumped substantially.
