it's in the News, it's in our Polls. Public opinion polling since 2003. Voters Reject Obama’s New Middle East Refugee Plan in Politics FacebookTwitterEmail thisShareThis Related Articles Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Confidence About America’s Safety From Terrorism Remains Low Most Still Oppose Syrian Refugees, Cite National Security Risk Most Support Trump’s Call for Immigration Restrictions, Screening Test Voters Question Government’s Focus on Domestic Islamic Terrorism Most Still Say U.S. At War With Radical Islamic Terrorism Sign up for free daily updates Tuesday, September 20, 2016 Voters strongly oppose President Obama’s plan to bring 110,000 Middle Eastern and African refugees to this country next year, up from 85,000 this year, and view that decision as an increased danger to U.S. national security. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that nearly half (48%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe the United Should should take in no additional refugees from those areas. Just 12% agree with Obama’s 110,000 figure, but another six percent (6%) think even more refugees than that should be brought here. Fourteen percent (14%) think 25,000 would be all right, while six percent (6%) favor letting in 50,000 of these refugees. Six percent (6%) support 85,000 newcomers from the Middle East and Africa. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Sixty-two percent (62%) of voters believe increasing the number of Middle Eastern and African refugees next year poses an increased national security risk to the United States. Twenty-eight percent (28%) disagree. Voters were similarly opposed and concerned about the national security threat of bringing Syrian refugees here this year, but Obama did it anyway, citing humanitarian concerns and the pressures these immigrants were putting on our European allies. The administration even sped the vetting process for these refugees in order to hit the president’s goal of bringing at least 10,000 here in 2016. The new survey was taken following the terrorist bombing this past weekend in New York City. A Muslim American originally from Afghanistan is the leading suspect. A Somali Muslim was shot to death Sunday after he stabbed eight shoppers at a Minnesota mall.
