June 16, 2021: Sixty-five percent (65%) of voters favor the idea of the United States trying to be a melting pot. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 22% are opposed, and 12% are not sure.[1]
In the survey, the concept of America as a melting pot was described as a place where immigrants and new ethnic groups assimilate into our nation’s mainstream culture. As part of the process, American culture is influenced by the cultural traditions of the new immigrants.[1]
An earlier survey found that 58% believe it is fair to describe the U.S. as a melting pot today.[2]
The goal of having America be a melting pot is favored by 70% of Hispanic voters, 66% of white voters, and 60% of Black voters.[1]
