Most Massachusetts residents do not want the state to continue bearing the burden of housing migrant families, according to a new poll.

A survey released Thursday by the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance shows that 53% of Bay State voters would rather the state did not extend its “Right to Shelter” law to migrant families arriving in Massachusetts after crossing the U.S. border.

“The poll revealed some of the strongest opinions ever recorded by the Fiscal Alliance Foundation in a survey. When asked whether tax dollars should be used to provide the right to shelter law benefit to newly arrived migrants, a majority of voters said no,” pollsters wrote.

The poll comes as the state continues to grapple with a migrant crisis which has filled the shelter system to bursting. According to the most recent data provided by the state, there are more than 7,500 families enrolled in the shelter system.

Gov. Maura Healey, before she established a cap on the number of families to whom the state would provide housing, had asked if Bay State residents would be willing to host migrant families in their homes.

According to the poll, most don’t have the inclination to take the governor up on her offer.

“At the beginning of the crisis, Governor Healey asked the public to consider housing recently arrived migrants. The poll asked voters if they would personally be willing to host newly arrived migrants in their own home, and 79% said no. That strong feeling was shared among all the three major party affiliations with Republicans at 96%, Democrats at 68%, and unrolled at 82%,” pollsters wrote.

Those surveyed indicated they have had their fill of paying to put up families in hotels and shelters across the state. When asked if the state should continue to fund the crisis despite any available means of sustaining 7,500 families in shelter, three-in-four said “no.”

“The results of this question were also very extreme at 73% saying no, with agreement from voters from all three parties (GOP 98%, Democrats 59%, and Unenrolled 76%),” pollsters wrote.

Healey’s approval rating has suffered significantly since the last time the Fiscal Alliance asked voters how they felt about the job she is doing. More than half had a favorable opinion of the governor before, less than a third unfavorable. Since then, there has been a “remarkable” change, according to Paul Diego Craney, a spokesperson for the Fiscal Alliance Foundation.

“Governor Healey’s overall favorable numbers stand at 46%, and unfavorable at 37%. Among unenrolled voters, Governor Healey’s favorability dropped to 33% and unfavorability at 53%. Last year, two separate polls showed Governor Healey’s favorability over 50% and her unfavorability were below 30%.” pollsters wrote.

Massachusetts is alone among the 50 U.S. states in guaranteeing a right to shelter to pregnant women and parents of small children.

The poll has a margin of error of 3.6% at a 95% confidence level, and includes the opinions of 788 likely voters contacted via both cell phones and landlines between February 3rd and February 6th, according to pollsters.
