Immigration once again was the top issue of concern for Americans in April, new polling shows worries about the economy are a strong second.
Americans have expressed increasing concern with the economy in recent months, with the issue being outpaced only by immigration as their top concern. Seventeen percent of Americans rated the economy as the top problem facing the country, according to a Gallup poll released Monday. The concern over the economy has steadily risen over the last few months, rising from 12% in January and February to 14% in March before hitting its new recent high in April, the poll found.
President Biden has in recent months touted an economic comeback in recent months, pointing to low unemployment and faster than expected GDP growth. But concerns among Americans remain, with the Gallup poll coming on the heels of a CBS/YouGov poll last that showed voters in key battleground states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania rating the issue as their top concern.
Speaking to Fox News Digital Tuesday, a White House spokesperson credited a joint effort with Mexico and enhanced U.S. enforcement efforts for turning the tide in the crisis, though many Americans remain unconvinced the issue isn’t a major problem. According to Gallup, immigration has topped its survey for most important issue four previous times since 2000, but 2024’s stretch of three months is the first time it has remained at the top for successive months.
