Immigrant views tied to national trends and New Orleans shifts
The AP Ipsos poll questions whether immigration influence is good or bad as overall sentiment rises. Food stamp usage increases are noted. In New Orleans average incomes rose 16 percent partly due to departures of the poorest residents. The black population in the New Orleans metro fell from 37 percent to 22 percent while whites rose from 60 to 73 percent of the remaining population. The Census Bureau could not provide city level race or socio-economic data due to insufficient survey responses.
