A majority of Americans back building a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, according to a new survey.
The new Monmouth University poll found that 53 percent of respondents support backing a border wall, which the polling center says is the first time a majority of respondents supported the proposal since it started asking the question in 2015.
Monmouth University noted that support for the wall has increased over the past eight years among Republicans and independents but decreased among Democrats.
Support appears to have strengthened as immigration continues to be a top concern ahead of the election and as former President Trump tightens his grip on the Republican presidential nomination.
“Illegal immigration has taken center stage as a defining issue this presidential election year.
The poll found that more than 8 in 10 Americans see illegal immigration as a very serious or somewhat serious problem, a sharp rise over the past decade.
