Differences in openness to political violence across ideological and party lines is mostly being driven by liberal women, while men have more similar levels of opposition to political violence across party and ideological lines.

Large numbers of Democrats, Independents, and young people do not know that Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer was Left-wing.

The 53.2% of respondents who support firing those who celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk outnumber the 30.5% who are opposed to it.

Since July, 2024, the number of Republicans who agreed to some extent that the Right must develop a cancel culture of their own rose from 39.3% to 50.6%. Among Independents support rose from 18.8% to 30.4%.

On September 10, the prominent conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was killed while speaking at a campus event. The disparate reactions to his death suggest that America is not two separate parties, but two separate nations. While the Right united in mourning Charlie, many on the Left celebrated his death.

In order to explore polarization the Homeland Institute polled 752 respondents who are politically and demographically representative of white, non-Hispanic American registered voters between August 26 and September 2, 2025. The margin of error was plus or minus 3%.

A short, five to seven minute poll increased the number of respondents who understand that legal immigration is a net negative from 5.7% to 8.7%.

When presented with the fact that almost 9% of the people residing within the US are foreign, 55.2% of white voters, 84.9% of Republicans, 59.5% of Independents, and 18.7% of Democrats said that this number was either too high or much too high.

After learning about Harjinder Singh, the number of all respondents who supported deporting all illegal immigrants increased by 5.8% to 53.7%. Support increased by 4% to 86.1% for Republicans, by 9.1% to 58.1% for Independents, and by 5.7% to 14.2% for Democrats.

The vast majority of respondents at 78.8% including 95.7% of Republicans, 83.8% of Independents, and even 56.5% of Democrats think that the story of Harjinder Singh shows that America’s immigration system is broken.

More respondents agreed with limiting the immigration of ethnic groups with a record of extreme nepotism than disagreed, including Independents.  

36.9% of all respondents, 68.5% of Republicans, 38.6% of Independents, and 11% of Democrats said that the number of foreigners where they live is either too high or much too high.

22.1% of respondents agreed with Kevin Deanna’s statement that “all politics is identity politics” and 5.5% strongly agreed with little variation across party lines.

On August 12, 2025, a truck driver named Harjinder Singh attempted an illegal U-turn which caused a crash which killed three people in Florida. Singh illegally entered the US in 2018, but was allowed to stay because he claimed to be afraid to return to India. Singh was tested after the fatal crash. He was only able to correctly answer 2 of 12 basic English questions and identify 1 of 4 basic signs.

The story of Harjinder Singh illustrates how Indian migrants are not compatible with American society. The recent influx of Indian immigration to the US is unique because it is a novel immigrant group that can not claim a victim narrative. We conducted a poll to explore how Indian immigration is affecting public opinion along with how it can be used to push back against immigration overall, both legal and illegal.

Since November 2024, support for ending birthright citizenship among Independents increased by 19.1% to 41%, and among Republicans by 9.4% to 63.9%.

16.7% of all respondents were in some form of agreement with the statement “Everyone is a blood and soil nationalist for the people they actually like,” including 14.9% of Democrats, 22.6% of Independents, and 13.4% of Republicans.

In response to this summer’s migrant riots in Los Angeles and elsewhere we launched a poll on immigration. Some of these questions are from previous polls to track how public opinion is evolving while others are new questions.

The Homeland Institute polled 946 respondents who are politically and demographically representative of white, non-Hispanic American registered voters between July 22 and July 30, 2025. The margin of error was plus or minus 3%.

The number of respondents age 18-29 who answered that the US’s relationship with Israel is a “major net negative” spiked from 9.3% to 24.6% over a mere year and a half.

Support for providing economic, material, and diplomatic aid to Israel in its ongoing conflicts plummeted by over a half from 37.7% to 18.1% among respondents age 18-29. Even more young Republicans now oppose such aid than support it.

Those who support direct intervention on behalf of Israel with airstrikes are outnumbered by those who oppose airstrikes. Support for intervention with troops on the ground is almost non-existent.

43.5% of respondents age 18-29 said they would oppose a draft through peaceful protest and 22.5% through non-violent civil disobedience, up from 25.7% and 16.9% in January, 2024.

The 17.3% of respondents who generally see foreign intervention as a net positive for the American people are decisively outnumbered by the 55.6% who see it as a net negative.

In January 2024, the Homeland Institute ran a poll on non-interventionism and related topics in response to the Gaza crisis. To track how public opinion is evolving and in response to the 12 Day Iran-Israel War in mid-June, 2025, we ran another poll on non-interventionism.

We polled 847 respondents who are politically and demographically representative of white, non-Hispanic American registered voters from June 27 to July 8, 2025, and our margin of error was plus or minus 3%.

The number of Independents and Republicans who agree that “globalism failed” outnumber those who disagreed.

A majority of respondents who were “neutral” or “opposed” to tariffs would be more likely to support tariffs if the White House were more clear and consistent. 

After a short 5 to 7 minute poll, respondents went from being slightly opposed to tariffs to almost equally supportive of and opposed to tariffs. 

81.7% of Republican respondents support tariffs.

For decades, the American labor market has suffered from a one-two punch of cheap labor being imported and jobs being exported. Because the labor market is not immune from the iron law of supply and demand, this naturally led to lower wages, longer hours, and worse conditions for American workers.

On April 2, 2025, the White House announced an aggressive policy of reciprocal tariffs to address America’s trade imbalance, thereby sparking a debate on the advantages and disadvantages of tariffs.

90.1% of respondents agree or strongly agree that “If we are experiencing a shortage of skilled workers, it would be better in the long-term to reform education and training for Americans.”

68.9% of respondents agree or strongly agree that “Its commonly said that immigrants do the jobs Americans won’t do. But the reality is that employers just want to pay their employees less.”

34.7% of white Republicans are in some from of agreement with the statement that “Many people who support immigration are motivated by racism against whites” compared to 27.6% only four months ago.

Around Christmas Eve in 2024, a firestorm erupted on X (formerly known as Twitter) regarding H-1B work visas. Elon Musk, who was in favor of H-1Bs, found himself opposed by almost every major conservative influencer in addition to vast numbers of rank-and-file X users.

This was a stark departure from the usual tepid chamber of commerce conservatism towards national populism. And what was more surprising was the number of details that surfaced about the H-1B program. For example, the actual number of visas granted in 2024 was over ten times the annual Congressional cap.

The number of people who reported hearing about the Great Replacement on X/Twitter rose dramatically from 9.8% last year to 16.4% this year.

68.1% of Republicans, 39.1% of Independents, and even 15.2% of Democrats agreed that changing demographics poses a threat to white Americans and their culture and values.

50.7% of white Republicans would at least somewhat agree with a candidate proposing policies to preserve the white majority.

63.3% of all respondents, 90.1% of Republicans, 71.5% of Independents, and even 39.8% of Democrats support prosecuting NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration for conspiracy to violate federal immigration laws.

70.9% of all respondents, 91.4% of Republicans, 77.6% of Independents, and even 50.5% of Democrats support prosecuting and disbarring attorneys who facilitate immigration fraud.

65.2% of all respondents, 82.5% of Republicans, 71.6% of Independents, and even 38.7% of Democrats support an end to counting illegals under the US Census for apportioning Congressional seats and Electoral College votes.

51.1% of all respondents, 73.1% of Republicans, 53.7% of Independents, and 21.8% of Democrats would support a federal version of Prop 187.

In September of 2023, the Homeland Institute conducted a poll on the Great Replacement. In addition to repeating that poll to track how public opinion is evolving, we also explored the popularity of several immigration policies which could help reverse replacement migration.

The Homeland Institute polled 905 respondents who are politically and demographically representative of white, non-Hispanic American registered voters between November 20 and November 25, 2024. The margin of error was plus or minus 3%.

Our first Homeland Institute poll ever was conducted last year in August, 2023, on the topic of cancel culture. Cancel culture merits research because it is used with great effect by the Left to chill resistance to globalism, multiculturalism, and mass immigration. More specifically we explored which was more damaging: the charge of “racism” or a charge of “woke.”

Much has happened since last year, so we decided to repeat the poll to track public opinion. For example, there has been a strong conservative backlash to the “woke” opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, and the X/Twitter account “Libs of Tiktok” has doxed Leftists who publicly wished that Donald Trump had not survived the assassination attempt on him.

Along with repeating last year’s poll on cancel culture, we also expanded it with new questions. The Homeland Institute polled 950 respondents who are politically and demographically representative of white, non-Hispanic American registered voters between July 25 and July 31, 2024. The margin of error was plus or minus 3%.

A short poll increased opposition to granting green cards to college graduates by about 10% across party lines.

The fact that US taxpayers directly and indirectly fund foreign students lowered 47.4% of all respondents’ and 51.1% of Republicans’ opinion of granting green cards to college graduates.

The fact that green card recipients could pose a national security risk in a multipolar world lowered 44.4% of respondents’ opinion of granting green cards to college graduates.

The fact that granting more green cards would change America’s racial demographics lowered 23.7% of all respondents’, 36.7% of Republicans’, 20.5% of Independents’, and even 10.6% of Democrats’ opinion of granting green cards to college graduates.  

Trump’s proposal failed to change how respondents plan to vote.

On June 20, 2024, Donald Trump appeared on the All-In podcast. After being prompted, Trump promised to grant green cards to college graduates starting on day one if he is re-elected. Specifically,

“You graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country. And that includes junior colleges too. Anybody graduates from a college — you go in there for two years or four years. If you graduate, or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country.”[1]

Trump’s green card proposal is a symptom of how there is a stark divide in the public mind between legal and illegal immigration, as was revealed in our previous poll on immigration and repatriation. Widespread opposition to illegal immigration does not translate over into opposition to legal immigration. And, as explained by Executive Director David Zsutty, this must change because legal immigration is actually more deleterious than illegal immigration.

55.1% of all respondents and 85.6% of Republicans support deporting all or almost all illegal immigrants.

48.7% of Republicans, 28.9% of Independents, and even 7.4% of Democrats would oppose immigration if it is changing the racial demographics of the US.

42.9% of all respondents and 67.7% of Republicans support prohibiting illegal immigrants from using non-emergency services as California’s Prop 187 attempted to before it was overturned.

About 28% of all respondents would support a national divorce for states who disagree with the federal government on immigration, regardless of who is president.

In December, 2023, Donald Trump stated of illegal immigrants that “They’re poisoning the blood of our country. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

Trump has also recently promised mass deportations if he is re-elected. And in May, 2024, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 56% of US voters were in favor of deporting all illegal immigrants, while 36% supported holding illegal immigrants in deportation camps pending deportation.[1]

Meanwhile in Germany, a remix of a techno song of with the lyrics “Ausländer raus” or “foreigners out” has gone viral despite state disapproval.

These developments inspired us to explore the topics of immigration and repatriation, and in greater depth than the Reuters/Ipsos poll. The Homeland Institute polled 1136 respondents who are characteristic of registered white American voters. This poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3% and was conducted from May 29 through June 11, 2024.

By David Zsutty

On January 16, 2024, Charlie Kirk challenged the Martin Luther King narrative, and by extension, the entire Civil Rights era paradigm.[1] This took courage because MLK is venerated as the patron saint of multiculturalism. Questioning MLK’s legacy naturally leads to questioning other controversial subjects, such as the legacy of the Civil Rights era as a whole and the current state of race relations in modern America.

The attitudes between white men and women towards preserving America’s demographics are not grossly disparate.  

Nihilism and apathy rather than anti-white indoctrination may be the greatest barrier to mobilizing the youth.

The Homeland Institute’s second poll on the Great Replacement garnered a lot of attention.^[1] In fact, it received over forty-four thousand views on Telegram alone.

The answers we found prompted further questions. For example, several people expressed an interest in how the answers broke down by sex and age, especially regarding the question of support or opposition to preserving America’s white majority. We decided to do a follow up report to address the two most common questions we received: How did support for preserving the white majority break down for sex and age?

7.2% of white Republican respondents said that an accusation of racism would make them more likely to vote for a political candidate.

By David Zsutty

Politicians and businesses cower in fear of being accused of racism. As we saw during the George Floyd riots, a racism charge is perceived to be so serious that many businesses displayed BLM signs, like the blood of the Passover lamb, in the hope it would spare them from riot damage. Yet the recent boycott of Bud Light for “going woke” through their partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney cost their parent company Anheuser-Busch $27 billion.[1]
