"SNIP.....

Gallup: “Americans’ concern with immigration continues to be heightened, as 23% name it the most important problem facing the country.”

“This is by one percentage point the highest Gallup has ever measured for the issue since it first began recording mentions of immigration in 1993.”

Dems need to publisize their plans on immigration.

1. Ambiguous

I’d say it’s a problem because of the concentration camps at the border. I don’t think that’s what they meant.

2. The views diverge on what to do but 76% think legal immigrants are

good. So dems need an answer to that.

5. Sure

I didn’t mean to disagree. Plus, if 30% of the country are Trumpers (shudder), not all of them have bought into his hate on this issue.

3. Absolutely

There are those who would say that immigration is a problem because of DACA folks, treatment of asylum seekers, etc. And there are those who want to stop most of the immigration into the US, and they would say that immigration was their biggest concern.

It needs a breakdown, but this is the candy-ass way that polls get structured.

4. does the poll ask how many want to stop it

and how many want to fix it?

6. For many, the way you phrased the question amounts to

"Did it ask how many prefer Option A versus how many prefer Option A?"
