A Gallup poll shows a substantial jump in the share of Americans who view immigration as positive for the U.S. since President Donald Trump took office.

The share of Americans who thought immigration should decrease – 55% – reached a 5-year high point in 2024. This year, it has dropped to 30%, and positive views of immigration have hit a record high of 79%, according to poll results released July 11. The poll surveyed 1,402 Americans between June 2 and 26.

A new Gallup poll showed a sharp reversal in support for President Donald Trump's immigration policies after several months of critical news coverage of ICE raids, controversial detention centers, and other crackdown efforts -- and the big swing in opinion is largely being driven by Republicans.
