Immigration emerges as the paramount issue for Republican voters, capturing the primary focus in both New Hampshire and Iowa, according to recent polling data. In Iowa, 40% of Republicans identify immigration as the most critical concern, surpassing the economy and jobs, which garnered a third of the respondents. This trend is mirrored in New Hampshire, where 40% of Republican primary voters prioritize immigration as their top issue.

Delving into personal financial sentiments, New Hampshire Republicans express concerns about their economic well-being, aligning with the sentiments observed in Iowa’s Republican caucuses. A significant portion of New Hampshire Republican primary voters considers their financial situation to be less than favorable, reminiscent of Iowa’s nearly 60% who claimed to be “holding steady,” with another third stating they were “falling behind.”

The overarching prominence of immigration as a key issue persists nationwide among Republicans, reflecting a consistent pattern observed in New Hampshire. When gauging the perception of New Hampshire Republicans regarding the impact of immigrants on the country, close to 70% assert that immigrants contribute more harm than good.

This sentiment parallels findings in Iowa, where three-quarters of Republicans shared the belief that immigrants have a detrimental rather than a positive impact on the nation. The enduring focus on immigration underscores its pivotal role in shaping the discourse within the Republican electorate, with implications for the upcoming political landscape.
