Even in 2019, public opinion shifted liberal on immigration
As well as interesting age data in the latest release by the British Election Study, there is also a positive finding about the long-term trend on immigration.
As other polling has shown, the long term trend in British public is towards a more liberal view on immigration, even jn more recent years:
This latest drop is in spite of the mode switch, which if anything might be expected to lead to more conservative answers on this type of question. (Expect plenty of analysis of interviewer effects…)

This trend fits with other data and other questions on the topic, such as from the British Social Attitudes survey and the Ipsos-MORI long-term trends.
