American Voters Want Accountability, Action on Focused Immigration Solutions  

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new poll from the Forum and The Bullfinch Group finds that American voters are demanding accountability from both Republicans and Democrats to move forward with balanced immigration solutions.

By a margin of 77%-9% among registered voters surveyed, and 74%-10% among all adults, Americans agree with the following statement: “I am holding Republicans and Democrats accountable to act together and urgently on fair, firm and compassionate immigration solutions that more than 70% of Americans support.” 

Surveys earlier this year and in December zeroed in on details of such solutions.  

The latest results include 82% support among self-identified Republican voters and 80% support among white evangelical Christians. 

“This is a pivotal moment for Congress and the administration to listen to Americans and work together to advance immigration solutions that are firm, fair, and compassionate,” said Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the Forum. “As the midterms approach, voters rightly demand accountability from leaders on both sides of the aisle to advance immigration policies that benefit our communities. 

“Americans know what balanced immigration solutions can look like. Congress should seize this opportunity to work together and create an immigration system to benefit all of us.” Polling crosstabs are available for surveyed adults and a subset of registered voters.  

The Forum, in conjunction with The Bullfinch Group, conducted a nationwide online survey fielded August 14 -17, 2026, among 1,200 adults, of whom 1,000 respondents were registered voters. Sampling controls were used to ensure that a proportional and representative number of respondents were interviewed from demographic groups such as age, gender, political affiliation, race, and geographic region. The margin of error for registered voters is ±3.1% at the 95% confidence interval. The margin of error for adults is ± 2.83% at the 95% confidence interval.
