The inaugural Transatlantic Trends: Immigration public opinion survey addresses immigration and integration issues including national identity, citizenship, migration management policies, national security, and the economic opportunities and challenges brought on by migrants. It measures broad public opinion in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland.


Transatlantic Trends: Immigration is a project of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, with support from the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation (U.S.), the Compagnia di San Paolo (Italy), and the Barrow Cadbury Trust (U.K.).
