As the surging levels of immigration to the United States continue to dominate the national conversation, a majority of Americans said they support building a wall along the southern border, according to a new Monmouth University Poll.

It is the first time since the pollster started asking the question in 2015 that the positive answer clocks in above 50%. Concretely, it stood at 53%, compared to 46% who opposed it. Support for the measure has grown substantially compared to the Trump administration, a period during which it never stood higher than 44% and reached a low of 35%.
