Pew Research Center data reveals just 27 percent of Americans feel the government is doing a 'somewhat good' job, with 6 percent saying 'very good.'

The majority of Americans believe the federal government is doing a"bad job" at handling the influx of asylum seekers arriving at the border, new survey data has found. People in the U.S. are also divided along partisan lines on how the government could improve on its approach to the country's current immigration policies.of 4,175 people between July 22 to August 4.

"In assessing the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, the public views several goals as important," the Pew Research Center says in its report."But more people give priority to addressing the backlog of asylum cases and improving conditions for asylum seekers than to making it harder—or easier—for asylum seekers to be granted legal status."

On the issue of reducing the number of asylum seekers coming to the U.S., 74 percent of respondents said it was"at least somewhat important," while 69 percent said it was important to provide more assistance to Central American nations such as the Northern Triangle countries—Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador—where many asylum seekers are coming from.

jwpsr We used to love crossing the border to eat, shop, etc. Haven’t done that since trump took office. How can that country not have all kinds of feelings about Americans. Even if trump n dem only feel Whites are Americans.

'Bad' is not a strong enough word when you lock up children, lose the parents, fail to legislate comprehensive immigration reform, illegally deny asylum, let people die from treatable disease in custody, break all kinds of immigration laws, discriminate, oh and promote violence.

The survey is wrong. President Trump is great!

When a targeted poll is put out to the public for over 15 days and it only has a little over 4K responses it should be deemed un-news worthy.

FAKE NEWSWEEK should change its name to SHIT THROWN AT A WALL

Majority of Americans don't care to respond to a survey on immigration because they are quite sure that the media will portray the results in any way they want. Media is doing a 'bad job' at being objective.
