The Haitian Times, October 2024
A national survey gauging the American public’s views on Haiti and Haitian Americans found that a slight majority support increased migration from Haiti and more aid to Haiti, and that a third of the population believed the lie about Haitian immigrants in Springfield eating pets.
The poll of 28,025 people — the first-of-its-kind focused on Haitians — was conducted by CHIP50, a consortium of university researchers, at the request of The Haitian Times. The resulting report, titled “Haitian Americans: Issues in Election 2024,” revealed both the general public’s and Haitian Americans’ feelings about a range of groups and prominent figures. Notably, Haitians Americans generally view Democrats more favorably than Republicans, and 44% of them said that the Biden-Harris administration has had a positive impact on Haiti.
