CNN Entrance Poll: Immigration Is Top Issue for Republican Iowa Caucus-Goers

Republicans arriving at the Iowa Caucus on Monday evening told CNN entrance pollsters that immigration is their top issue heading into the 2024 presidential election.

As Republicans head into the Iowa Caucus, 37 to 40 percent of caucus-goers said their top issue is immigration — indicating that President Joe Biden’s handling of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border is the key motivating factor for a plurality of Republican voters today.

Caucus-goers listed the economy, abortion, and foreign policy behind immigration. About 35 percent of caucus-goers called the economy their top issue while 11 percent said abortion and another 11 percent named foreign policy as their number one issue.
