Oh no! They asked Americans about "others in their country" and then generalized the answer to be what Americans think about Americans.
You'd have to have your head up your ** about American feelings about immigrants and asylum-seekers, let alone American illegal immigrants, to generalize the answer about "Americans" or US citizens.

Part of it is that Democrats think Republicans are bad and that Republicans think Democrats are bad. Note this quote:
Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic Party are much more likely
than Republicans and Republican leaners to rate fellow Americans as morally
and ethically bad (60% vs. 46%).
and thinking how "increasing social cohesion" seems entirely out of reach in the US although the fact is that we can't afford to go on the way we are going. It's particularly funny to me that people in Canada, next door, economically almost part of the United States (don't tell the President!) is the country with the lowest level of people saying their countrymen were bad.

Funny, I certainly think Americans have bad morals and ethics, and your comment is an example of why.

Am I reading the correct article? The one I just read does not include the work "immigrant" nor the word "asylum" at all?
