Nearly three in four U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing, down slightly from a record high last year. Party gaps on immigration remain wide.
In 2025, fewer people worldwide are imagining their futures elsewhere. The U.S., long the world's most desired destination, is attracting less interest than at any point in nearly two decades.
Mentions of government as the nation's most important problem remained high in February, fueled by historically high Democratic concern.
Democrats are less likely than in the past to see conditions as positive, while Republicans are upbeat, as is typical for them with a GOP president.
