Minnesota's Somali community has been under scrutiny over the fraud scandal that has enveloped state leaders.
The outcry had already prompted Minnesota's Democratic Governor Tim Walz to drop his reelection bid, which he did last week, before an ICE officer shot an unarmed woman, further propelling Minnesota into the news.
Daily Mail polling conducted January 5 and 6 - also before the fatal ICE shooting - found that the Minnesota fraud scandal was taking a toll on how American voters viewed Somali immigrants.
Somalians were viewed least favorably compared to other immigrant groups in the J.L. Partners poll.
In fact, they were the only group that polled in negative territory.
Thirty percent of registered voters said Somali immigrants made a bad impact on the United States.
