New Poll Sinks Dems’ Hopes That Voters Will Forget All About Kamala Harris’ Record on Immigration

A newly-released survey indicates that the vast majority of registered voters believe Vice President Kamala Harris is a supporter of “open borders.”

Sixty-nine percent of voters believe Harris is for open borders, further demonstrating her vulnerability on immigration as she begins her presidential candidacy, according to a Harvard-Harris poll released on Tuesday. Voters across the political spectrum also generally agree with the statement, with 56% of Democrats, 82% of Republicans and 69% of independents responding that they believe the vice president supports open border policies.

A mere 31% of voters said they believe Harris stood against open borders, including only 44% of Democrats. Respondents also identified immigration as the second most important issue facing the country, beating out the economy, healthcare, crime and numerous other national concerns.

At the same time, respondents to the Harvard-Harris survey overwhelmingly opposed the idea of open borders, with 68% of voters answering that they stood against such policies. When split by party, Republicans and independents opposed the idea by wide margins, and Democrats were practically even, with 51% answering they supported open borders while 49% said they opposed them.

The survey found additional support for hawkish border policies among the U.S. population, with 73% of voters favoring a policy goal to “seal the border, and stop the migrant invasion.” {snip}
