A recent Gallup poll (June 2-26, 2025) of 1402 US adults shows opinions about
immigrants/immigration policy has significantly changed since the 2024 election –
during which opinions surged in favor of deportations possibly because of the high
numbers of asylum-seekers who were being admitted into the US (legally) but
who were publicly labelled “Illegal aliens” by the primary Republican candidate
and, erroneously, much of the media.
