According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, 57% of Americans say illegal immigration is getting worse while 66% say the southern border is most definitely in crisis.
From The Post Millennial:
Among political parties, Democrats were more likely to say that the situation isn’t a crisis, with 38 percent saying it is not, while 46 percent said it was. Conservatives, and those who responded “other”, overwhelmingly said the situation was a crisis, at 82 and 70 percent, respectively.
Broken down by political ideology, a majority of conservatives, 86 percent, said it was a crisis. 58 percent of moderates and 37 percent of liberals responded as such.
The poll also found that a majority of Americans say the problem of illegal immigration is getting worse, at 57 percent. 12 percent said it was getting better, 29 percent said it was around the same, and 2 percent said they weren’t sure.
The number of those who say the problem is getting worse is up from August, which saw 54 percent of Americans respond as such.
47 percent of Democrats said that the situation was around the same as it has been, while 21 percent of the party’s voters said the situation was getting better, and 29 percent said it was getting worse.
Among Republicans, 80 percent said the situation was getting worse, while 13 percent said the situation as about the same, and 7 percent said it was getting better. 65 percent of “other” voters said the situation was getting worse, while 26 percent said it was about the same, and 5 percent said it was getting better.
Meanwhile, while biking in Delaware over the weekend, President Biden confirmed that he wouldn’t be visiting the border any time soon and said things are going better than anyone expected.
