Rasmussen says ending birthright citizenship 'popular with voters,' cites poll from early 2024


The results of a poll from early 2024 is receiving renewed attention after former President Trump considers ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.

“We’re going to have to get it changed. We’ll maybe have to go back to the people,” Trump said in a recent interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “But we have to end it.”

The Napolitan News survey included 1,000 registered voters and was conducted Jan 31 to Feb 1, 2024 shows that most voters disapprove of birthright citizenship.

"Call for end to #BirthrightCitizenship is popular with voters. If a pregnant woman enters the United States illegally and gives birth in the United States, just 41% think her child automatically be considered an American citizen," wrote pollster Scott Rasmussen on X.

"Additionally, if a woman enters the United States illegally and becomes pregnant within a year or so.... and the father of the child is also an illegal immigrant, just 38% think that child automatically be considered an American citizen," he also wrote.
