Gallup poll: 50% of Americans want immigration decreased (was 39% last year)

According to Gallup (link):

Half (50%) say immigration should be decreased, up from 39% last year. A third (32%) say immigration levels should be kept the same, down from 39%, and 14% say they should be increased, down from 18%... Currently, 58% say [immigration] is a good thing -- the lowest percentage saying so since 2003. The historical low for this measure, 52%, came in 2002, after the 9/11 attacks.

Not only that, but 44% of Democrats and 46% of independents want immigration decreased.
