The rest of the questions are demographic stuff so they get a feeling for what different groups of people are thinking on this subject.

have taken it before but did so again.

Done, thanks for the link.

Did it, but where are the results posted?

I completed the survey. Thanks for the link.

Did it, but where are the results posted?

When I saw this I swore I had taken it before and it was old. I took it anyway and thought there were new questions. I looked on the home page and found no reference to a poll title specifically as this is. Perhaps they have repeated prior questions from a previous poll. I'll check back in a few days and see if I can find some answers or stats to it.

I have taken it before as well, but took it again.

Done. I may have taken this before too, or a survey with some similar questions.

Here's the results. If you want to see the charts and graphs go to the link below/

Immigration Poll
Back to Results Take This Poll


The United States is a nation built on immigrants. PollingPoint asked respondents how they feel about immigration today. Most of you believe that the number of immigrants allowed to come to the United States should be decreased.

In a recent PollingPoint survey, 64 percent of you believe that immigration should be decreased, compared to 14 percent who believe it should be increased, and 19 percent of respondents who think it should stay the same.

Age is a strong determining factor of how you view immigration. Younger respondents are more open to immigration, while older respondents are steadfastly against it.


According to respondents, 69 percent of you believe immigrants hurt the U.S. economy and 26 percent believe immigrants help the economy. There are stark differences between respondents of different education levels. Respondents with less than a college education believe immigration hurts more than those who have a college degree.


Race also elicits various answers from respondents. Most immigrants to the United States today are Latinos, and according to the survey, Latino respondents tend to be more supportive of immigrants. Examining the same question of whether or not immigrants help or hurt the U.S. economy a majority of whites and blacks say they hurt they economy, whereas a majority of Hispanic respondents say immigrants help the economy.


Whether you believe that there should be more immigrants here or if immigrants help the economy, four out of five of you do not believe illegal immigrants should be eligible for government services such as Medicaid or food stamps.


Respondents are emphatically against offering illegal immigrants Medicaid or food stamps. But, when asked if children of illegal immigrants should be able to attend schools, another government service, results are a less one-sided. According to respondents, 24 percent do support allowing children of illegal immigrants to attend schools, but a majority, 61 percent are opposed to it.

On this question women are also more supportive than men of allowing children of illegal immigrants to attend school.


One question raised in the immigration debate is who is to blame: illegal immigrants for crossing the border without permission or the employers who willfully hire illegal immigrants. PollingPoint asked what penalties an employer should face for knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant. Many of you favored a very strong penalty, with a majority of you saying the penalty for knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant should be both a fine and jail time.

Yep, those are results alright, but they don't seem to me to be results to the same poll I took. They're different questions.

Where are the results to the first question re: Bush's performance for example? Where are the results of the other questions in the poll? Those results don't seem to fit with the poll I took.

What I kinda was looking for was something that listed each question that was posted in the begining of this thread, and were questions asked by the poll, and the results next to it.

Those results seem to be for a different poll regarding immigration.
