The border crisis continues to be a top issue for American voters heading into November, as migrant crime and record-breaking crossing numbers dominate the headlines.
When asked what the most important issues facing the country are, 36% of respondents said that immigration is the biggest issue, while 33% said inflation and price increases are the top issues facing the United States. Economy and jobs came in third with 23%, while crime and drugs was fourth place at 18%.
Immigration and inflation switched spots when respondents were asked which issues affected them the most on a personal level. A full 38% of respondents said that inflation is the most important issue to them on a personal level, with immigration coming in second at 21%. While inflation is still 17 points higher than immigration among respondents who were asked about the personal importance of these issues, inflation dropped by 3 points since last month, with immigration rising by 4 points.
Respondents were also asked whether or not they approved of Biden’s handling of various issues, with the Democrat incumbent president receiving the lowest rating for his handling of immigration for the fourth month in a row. Just 36% of respondents said that they approve of Biden’s handling of immigration.
On day one of his presidency, Joe Biden dismantled the secure border he inherited from former President Donald Trump with a flurry of executive actions. The Biden White House has maintained that, despite using executive orders to dismantle the border, Biden cannot use them to restore order.
