Core finding
Presented with a list of refugee groups defined by religion and asked which best fits America, most Americans (68%) instead say religion does not matter and all are welcome, according to a January 2024 Verasight survey.
Christian refugees rank highest among the named groups at 19%, followed by Catholic refugees at 7%. The remaining options, Jewish refugees at 3% and Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu refugees at 1% each, draw little support.
