Poll: Overwhelming Majority of Americans Believe Migrant Invasion Will Make Country Worse

According to a recent CBS/YouGov poll, an overwhelming majority of Americans believe that the current migrant invasion will make the country worse in the long run.

Overall, only 22 percent of Americans believe that the invasion will make the country better while 48 percent believe that it will make the country worse. Among men, 23 percent of respondents believe it will make the country better while 50 percent believe it will make the country worse. For women, 22 percent believe the migrants will make the country better while 46 percent believe they will make the country worse.

The contrast is most stark among Republicans, only nine percent of whom believe the migrant invasion will make the country better with 75 percent believing it will make it worse. Blacks, whites and Hispanics all agreed that the migrants will hurt the country. The only group that felt the migrant invasion would make the country better, unsurprisingly, is the Democrats. 39 percent of Democrats believe the invasion will make the country better while 25 percent believe it will make the country worse.
