A majority of Americans – 51 percent – believe that illegal migrants may cast ballots in the 2024 presidential election and influence the outcome, according to a recent survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports. The study also found that almost one in four Democrats (23 percent) said illegal migrants should be allowed to vote.
Of the 51 percent who fear the situation, 28 percent believe it is “very likely” and another 23 percent “somewhat likely.” Republicans are overwhelmingly in agreement at 72 percent, with 43 percent answering “very likely” and another 29 percent answering “somewhat likely.”
A total of 44 percent say it is unlikely, with 22 percent telling pollsters it was “not at all likely” and 20 percent answering “not very likely.” Eight percent were undecided.
Rasmussen also asked the 1,035 likely U.S. voters: “How important is it to prevent illegal immigrants from voting in U.S. elections?” To which the vast majority of respondents – 77 percent – answered either “very important” or “somewhat important.”
Majorities of both Democrat and Republican voters agreed it was important, with only 33 percent of Democrats and 15 percent of GOP voters answering either “not very important” or “not at all important.”
This sentiment was further reflected after Rasmussen asked whether “illegal immigrants be allowed to vote in U.S. elections?” A whopping 80 percent answered “no.” A mere 13 percent answered “yes.”
