Politicians Love Polls - What About This One?

J.J. Jackson* | April 13, 2006

I personally find polls annoying. Especially those by Zogby who often resorts to weighting polls favorably one way or another and asking biased questions. But this one was pretty straight forward and in line what we know the American public believes.

A Zogby survey of nearly 8,000 people shows coast-to-coast protests against immigration proposals in Congress ? particularly to make it a federal felony to be an illegal worker in the U.S. ? have not persuaded a majority of likely American voters.

Asked whether the protests have made likely voters more or less sympathetic toward undocumented workers, 61 percent said they’re less likely to be sympathetic to the plight of illegals as a result of the protests, while only 32 percent of respondents said they’re now more sympathetic. Younger respondents to the poll were more likely to be sympathetic than were older participants. And while 56 percent of Democrats said the protests made them feel more sympathy for unlawful workers, just 6 percent of Republicans felt that way. - WorldNetDaily
