FAIR: New Zogby Poll of Likely Florida Voters Reveals Broad Support for Reduced Immigration During COVID-19 Crisis


WASHINGTON, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A statewide poll of likely Florida voters finds broad voter support for reductions in immigration in the face of massive layoffs resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. The polling was conducted on behalf of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) by the national opinion research firm, Zogby Analytics, on June 10 and 11.

The poll indicates that Florida voters support reductions in the admission of new immigrants and guest workers in the face of the ongoing public health and economic crises gripping the nation. Florida voters are also significantly more likely to prioritize the need for immigration and border enforcement over programs to legalize millions of illegal aliens.

Among the key findings of the Florida opinion poll:

"The polling shows clear public support in Florida for many of the immigration policy steps that the Trump administration has taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting economic and unemployment crisis. Voters in this key state agree that reductions in the admission of new immigrants and foreign workers are a prudent response to a crisis that has resulted in some 40 million Americans losing their jobs, and there is broad support for additional measures to be taken by the White House," commented Dan Stein, president of FAIR.

"The polling numbers send a clear message to Senators Rubio and Scott and members of Florida's congressional delegation, that jobs and economic security are always critical issues in presidential and congressional elections. Both Senators have a tremendous opportunity to show voters that they stand with the American worker over corporate interests clamoring for guest workers at a time of mass unemployment.

"While voters certainly understand the extraordinary circumstances that have led to massive unemployment, they will also expect that the president and their federal representatives will take all reasonable steps to minimize the damage done to American workers, and expedite recovery for those who have lost jobs. This poll makes it clear that Florida voters understand and support the need to reduce the flow of people entering the country who will compete for jobs during this crisis and once the economy fully reopens," Stein concluded.

The poll of 805 likely voters has a +/-3.5 percent margin of error.
