In a marked reversal from a year ago, more Americans now have positive views about immigration, and a record high believes it is good for the nation.

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.

Americans support immigration to the United States, according to a Gallup poll, the highest approval rating in 25 years.
