No...the past seemed to encompass ten years or so ago.

Forgot to post the link to the Gallup poll
http://www.gallup.com/poll/155210/americans-positive-immigration.aspx

"An update to one of Gallup's longest-standing questions on immigration
finds more Americans in favor of keeping levels the same (42%) than in
favor of decreasing them (35%). For most of the past 40 years, the opposite
has been true, with more calling for decreased immigration than keeping the
status quo."

So it seems to be a fairly recent switch.
