However, 47% expressed the belief that immigration has contributed to an increase in crime. It is important to note that the poll encompassed both legal and illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year, overall views on the influx of immigrants have slightly decreased. In the previous survey, 70% of participants regarded immigration as a positive force. Nevertheless, a majority of respondents still support maintaining or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/voters-concerned-immigration-makes-crime-worse-but-think-its-a-good-thing-poll\/\" title=\"Poll: Voters worry immigration increases crime, yet view it positively.\">increasing current immigration levels<\/a>, with only 41% advocating for a decrease.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, partisan opinions on the issue remain divided. While 73% of Republicans favor curtailing immigration, 40% of Democrats desire an increase. Independents, on the other hand, exhibit a more balanced perspective, with 27% supporting an increase and 39% favoring a decrease.<\/p>\n<p>The poll coincides with the recent suspension of Title 42 by the Biden administration. This emergency restriction, implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, aimed to swiftly turn away immigrants at the southern border. Since its removal in mid-May, Gallup reports a significant decline in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-recruiting-gop-senators-for-amnesty-deal\/\" title=\"Democrats Recruiting GOP Senators for Amnesty Deal\">illegal border crossings<\/a>. This decline is attributed to the increase in asylum hearings and the enforcement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/florida-planning-toughest-statewide-crackdown-on-illegal-immigration-in-u-s\/\" title=\"Florida Planning Toughest Statewide Crackdown on Illegal Immigration in U.S.\">potential felony charges<\/a> under current policies.<\/p>\n<p>Gallup emphasizes that while support for immigration has decreased compared to recent years, it remains higher than in the 1990s and early 2000s. The public&#8217;s perception of immigration&#8217;s impact on various areas, such as the economy, culture, social and moral values, taxes, and the drug epidemic, was also measured in the poll.<\/p>\n<p>The survey was conducted by Gallup from June 1-22, with a random sample of 1,013 U.S. adults.
