Another Poll That Doesn’t Count
by matt at 6:00 am on May 22nd, 2006 in ImmigrationFaulty methodology? Biased questions? Librul Agenda? Probably.
A survey of 800 registered Hispanic voters conducted May 11-15 by the nonpartisan Latino Coalition showed that Democrats were viewed as better able to handle immigration issues than Republicans, by nearly 3 to 1: 50 percent to 17 percent. Pitting the Democrats against Bush on immigration issues produced a 2 to 1 Democratic advantage, 45 percent to 22 percent.
It’s a good thing for Republicans that they don’t have to worry about things like this. They have enough other problems:
A third study of all voters found that conservative white Republicans are the most adamantly opposed of all political and demographic groups to what Bush calls his “rational middle ground” policy toward allowing more undocumented workers to become legal and eventually to become citizens.

In a survey by the Pew Research Center, conservative Republicans were by far the most opposed of any demographic group — 83 percent — to providing social services to illegal immigrants. Conservative Republicans were, in addition, the only group in which a majority supported a constitutional amendment barring citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants born in the United States. They also supported the activities of citizen militias known as Minutemen that attempt to guard the border.
The word conservative has truly lost all meaning.
