This article provides a longitudinal analysis on the driving forces behind Europeans' positions toward development aid and identifies changes in the dynamics following the migrant flows in 2015. Specifically, it assesses the extent to which policy‐makers' decisions to utilize development policy as a strategic tool to manage migration resonates at the public level. Using multilevel regression models on cross‐sectional survey data acquired from Eurobarometer surveys covering five waves between 2013 and 2018, supplemented by a series of macro‐level covariates both at the country and regional level, I show that voters in countries and regions with higher numbers of migrants are more supportive of foreign aid. The models also verify that support for foreign aid in polities that are the destination for migrants is substantially stronger in surveys conducted after 2015 than before and among voters who are interested in politics
