One Third of Republicans Would Pitch in to Build Wall

A Rasmussen Reports nationwide poll shows that one in three Republicans would be willing to pitch in to pay for a wall on the U.S. southern border with Mexico if Congress fails to give President Donald Trump the $5 billion he has asked Congress to approve for it.

"Half of voters who strongly approve of the job Trump is doing would contribute their own money to build the wall if Congress refuses to fund it," Rasmussen Reports said of its survey.

Support for the wall and paying for it is strictly divided along party lines, according to the survey, with only ten percent of Democrats saying they would be willing to put their own money toward building a wall.

Data from voters who want to build a wall on the U.S. southern border show that 43 percent would contribute their own money, while 39 percent would not.

"Men are more willing than women to privately contribute and pay more in taxes to build the wall and fight illegal immigration," Rasmussen Reports said of its survey.

"Nineteen percent are willing to pay an extra $100 each year. Another 19 percent are willing to pay an extra $300 a year or more, with two percent who say they would pay more than $1,000 more in taxes each year to fight illegal immigration."

"They're about equally as likely to pay higher taxes to fight illegal immigration as they are to pay for Obamacare, although voters are slightly more willing to pay an extra $100 a year for the wall than they are for Obamacare."
