Support for Central American Refugees Exceeds Norm

As thousands of Central American refugees wait to have their asylum applications processed by U.S. border authorities, Americans are slightly more likely to approve (51%) than disapprove (43%) of letting these refugees into the U.S.

That level of support exceeds the historical norm — in most prior refugee situations, Americans were more likely to disapprove than approve of allowing them entry. CONT.
