A new poll conducted by National Research Inc., and The Polling Company shows overwhelming support for many of the Trump administration’s new immigration policy priorities, including putting American workers first.

NumbersUSA advocates dramatically reducing legal immigration levels and cracking down on undocumented immigrants’ employment. Its positions are diametrically opposed to those of FWD.us. That Conway took a paycheck from both groups within months of each other was surprising—like advising Planned Parenthood one day and National Right to Life the next.
Politico/Morning Consult released a poll today showing that only 30% of registered American voters believe that H-1B workers fill jobs Americans are not able to perform. 44% said that H-1B visa holders definitely fill job opportunities that Americans could do.
Two polls -- both conducted since last weekend's news coverage of protests against Pres. Trump's Jan. 27 executive order -- show that significantly more Americans support the President's order to pause the refugee program for four months than oppose it.
One of the storylines that emerged following Donald Trump’s victory on November 8 was that President-elect Trump outperformed Mitt Romney’ s 2012 showing with Hispanic voters. Trump also approached the 31 percent of Hispanic vote that Senator John McCain received in 2008, after McCain had spent the three years prior to the election pushing a massive amnesty bill in the Senate.
An exit poll conducted by Zogby Analytics on behalf of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) showed that the majority of Hispanic voters are in favor of strengthening immigration enforcement.
A March 7 story from Bloomberg Businessweek reported on a new poll that surveyed Americans on immigration. The Bloomberg lede was that 61 percent of Americans believe that “continued immigration into the country jeopardizes the United States.”
The Pew report on population growth and immigration that was released on September 28, which projected that immigration would add 103 million people to the U.S. population between 2015 and 2065, accounting for 88 percent of total population growth, also contained polling data on attitudes about immigration policy.

A majority of Americans are dissatisfied with immigration levels to the United States, according to a new Gallup poll.
The poll, released Thursday, reveals that 60 percent of Americas say they are dissatisfied with the current level of immigration into the United States. Just 33 percent said they were satisfied.
The Daily Caller obtained an unreleased poll that says 59 percent of voters who are closely following the border surge agree that "current administration policies and lack of focus on securing the border" are behind the crisis. One-third of political independents and Hispanics “strongly” blame the president. Six in 10 respondents say that unaccompanied alien children should be ordered to leave the country.
A new Rasmussen poll finds only 31 percent favor increasing immigration and that may be because only 18 percent of Americans think legal immigration is running higher than 500,000 per year. The real rate is more than a million per year. 58 percent of respondents either supported lower immigration levels or maintaining current levels.
A national blogger/ internet firestorm has erupted over claims that Shaun Kenney wants to drive out of the party anybody who opposes "reform" that allows illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. and especially to those who want laws enforced that require deportation of people who are here illegally. A poll of Virginians finds that most Republican voters are at odds with the immigration policies that Kenney supports.
Chairwoman for the bipartisan immigration commission Barbara Jordan said the United States can't have a credible immigration system without controlling illegal immigration. A new poll from Rasmussen finds that the vast majority of Americans agree with her statement. Asked if the U.S. government is "too aggressive or not aggressive enough in deporting those that are in the country illegally," 60% said the country isn't aggressive enough.
The moral arguments on immigration that Members of Congress are hearing from Catholic bishops this month are not the ones that most Catholic voters believe are the most important, according to polling of 4,967 Catholic likely voters in 26 politically competitive states. If Catholic voters resist the political pressure from their bishops to support an amnesty, it won't be because the laity refuses to consider the moral issues of immigration but because most of the laity places a higher moral priority on protecting the most vulnerable members of their national community who are unemployed or who struggle because of low wages.
Only one out of five voters agrees with Pres. Obama's and the business lobbies' central claim that passing the Senate bill to add millions more foreign workers to the labor market would "create economic growth which would provide more jobs for unemployed Americans." Instead, nearly 70% of voters chose the answer that "adding more immigrant workers would increase job competition for unemployed Americans, making it harder for them to find jobs."
Last night across the street from our NumbersUSA offices, I could literally "read the writing on the wall" for Republicans who are following the advice of their national party leaders, consultants and corporate fund-raisers to flood America's labor markets with foreign workers.
The words "Sen. Alexander under fire on immigration" scrolled across the electronic news screen that wraps around the corner of the complex that contains the local ABC TV station and Politico.
Since NumbersUSA began running TV and radio ads in February highlighting the amnesty leadership of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), his popularity among South Carolina voters has dropped rapidly, according to a new Winthrop University poll.
Although he retains majority support among Republicans, his approval rating among them fell from 71.6% in February to 57.5% in April.
The report is attractive, thick and has a lot of impressive-sounding academic language, including some helpful findings. But the news out of the latest Brookings Institute polling claiming majority support for amnesty does not give an accurate picture of what already was not a very credible poll.
Much of the mainstream media seem stuck in the old paradigm that there are only two major options of what to do with the officially estimated 11 million foreign citizens living illegally in this country -- either deport them or legalize them. Nowhere is this false dichotomy more apparent than in the media treatment of Mitt Romney's immigration stance. Even though no candidate has talked more about the details of dealing with the 11 million, the common journalistic description is that Romney tells us what he opposes (amnesty) for them but not what he proposes to do with them.
The Gingrich Amnesty proposal has suddenly revived all kinds of interest nationwide in trying again to legalize millions of illegal aliens. Nowhere is the frenzy higher than among media and academic pollsters who have rushed out to prove that Americans are really OK with letting 7 million illegal aliens keep their non-ag jobs instead of letting unemployed Americans have them. Of course, the polls don't state it that way which is a reason they get their results.
A new USA Today/Gallup poll reveals that two-thirds of Americans want the federal government to do a better job of securing the border. Eighty-four percent of Americans worry that illegal immigration strains social services, and 77% believe that illegal aliens drive down wages.
A new CNN poll reveals that 66% of Americans don't want the federal government to make it easier for illegal aliens to earn a citizenship. Only 33% say that the United States should make it easier for illegal aliens to earn citizenship. the majority of both Democrats and Republicans say they oppose making citizenship easier.
A new poll conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute and funded by the Ford Foundation attempts to debunk a poll conducted a few months ago by Zogby and the Center for Immigration Studies. I invite you to compare the questions. I think you’ll find that the Zogby poll tries to reveal people’s opinions versus the Public Religion Research poll that tries to manufacture people’s opinions.
Highly paid PR firms for the open-borders lobby have gotten stories in many major newspapers this month suggesting that the only way to attract the Hispanic vote is to favor a comprehensive amnesty and also an increase in foreign workers. But a massive Zogby poll shows Hispanic views to be quite different . . .
One of the largest polls on immigration ever conducted has proven what we suspected all along: National religious leaders who are lobbying Congress for ever-more immigration simply don't represent much of anybody. A good way for a Member of Congress to lose considerable votes back home would be to do on immigration what they are asked by the leaders of most national religious agencies. Most Christians and Jews want LESS immigration, not more, Zogby found.
A new Gallup Poll reveals that more Americans are favoring lower immigration numbers as compared to this time last year. Fifty percent of Americans believe that immigration numbers should be reduced from their current rate of more than 1 million immigrants per year, while only 14 percent think that number should be increased.
A new Washington Post-ABC Poll reveals that 74% of Americans think the United States is not doing enough to prevent illegal crossings at the borders. The poll was conducted in connection with Pres. Barack Obama's 100th day in office and asked respondents questions on social issues ranging from immigration to gay marriage to the legalization of marijuana.
