More Americans Favor Than Oppose Arizona Immigration Law: Gallup Poll


Hey, Democrats you want to bring up Immigration Reform as a way to gin up your base and get them to the polls in November?

Go right ahead baby!

In yet another poll a majority of the American people favor the new Arizona Immigration Law.

So get angry and cry discrimination, racial profiling, call for a boycotts of Arizona Ice Tea even though it’s made in New York, march in the streets and show illegal burning the American flag, and of course your all time favorite, pull the racism card, all you want!

It will only backfire against you and underscore the fact that you’re a desperate party trying to maintain power by misstating the facts and using sheer demagoguery to mask a Far Left agenda that is hopelessly out-of-step with the American people.


From Gallup:

More than three-quarters of Americans have heard about the state of Arizona's new immigration law, and of these, 51% say they favor it and 39% oppose it.

These results are based on a new Gallup poll conducted April 27-28, in the days after Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's signing the bill into law.
The law makes it a state crime for illegal immigrants to be in the country, and allows Arizona law enforcement officials to detain those suspected of being in the country illegally unless they can prove otherwise. The law has sparked protests in Arizona and other parts of the U.S., and calls for economic boycotts of the state.

Nationally, 62% of Republicans support the law (including 75% of Republicans who have heard about it).

Democrats are more likely to oppose (45%) than favor (27%) the law, and a majority of Democrats familiar with the law (56%) oppose it.
Independents are somewhat more likely to favor (37%) than oppose (29%) the law, with half of those who have heard about it in favor.

Bottom Line
Most Americans have heard about Arizona's tough new immigration law, and they generally support it. The law was passed partly in response to a lack of federal action on the issue. Since the Arizona bill became law, congressional Democrats have considered taking up the issue in the coming weeks, though this initial read on public opinion toward the Arizona law suggests Americans may not necessarily back an attempt to supersede or otherwise undermine it.
