Poll: Immigration More Important Than Obamacare to GOP Voters

A new poll from Gallup has found that Republican voters think the immigration woe facing America is the most important issue in the country.

Of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters, the Gallup poll found that 22 percent believe immigration is the “most important problem” in America. Republicans rank the issue as more important than dysfunctional government, the economy, unemployment and healthcare—for which 20 percent, 17 percent, 12 percent, and 9 percent, respectively, said it was the most important.

Among Democrats, 11 percent believe immigration is the most important issue—making it their fourth-highest concern behind dysfunctional government, the economy, and unemployment.

Among all American adult voters, immigration is the second-highest important issue with 16 percent saying it’s the most important.

The poll comes in the wake of another recent poll from Tea Party Patriots, which found that 34.6 percent of GOP voters believe that stopping the flow of illegal immigration is the most important issue facing the nation—more important to GOP voters than getting to the bottom of the Benghazi or IRS scandals or halting Obamacare.
