The Center Square Voters' Voice Poll, conducted in conjunction with Noble Predictive Insights, asked 2,500 registered voters, including 1,000 registered Democrats, 1,000 registered Republicans, and 500 independents: "How concerned are you about the situation at the border?"
Eighty-two percent responded that they are concerned, with 47% saying they are very concerned and an additional 35% saying they are somewhat concerned. Just 13% said they are not concerned at all and 4% are unsure.
"The general public still very much believes the border is an issue, but it also should be ringing alarm bells for politicians because they haven't come up with solutions at the border," Mike Noble, founder and CEO of Noble Predictive, told The Center Square. "Especially for those 55 and older, they're the most concerned, and they're the most likely to vote."
For voters 55 and older, 56% of respondents said they are very concerned about the border and an additional 31% said they are somewhat concerned, 87% of the demographic. Just 10% said they are not concerned and 3% are unsure.
Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, more than 8 million people have illegally crossed the southern and northern borders, greater than the population of 38 U.S. states, as The Center Square previously reported.
Among Hispanic voters who took part in The Center Square Voters' Voices Poll, 81% said they are concerned (47% very, 34% somewhat); 15% said they are not concerned at all, and 4% are unsure.
A significant majority of Democrats also are concerned, with 22% very concerned and 49% somewhat concerned, or 71% total.
