Get Tancredo out in front, and that GOP # will double.
Stupid. Who do you trust more?
Who do you trust more Iran or Syria?
How about... I don't trust either on this issue?
Ted Kennedys speech cheering on the illegals needs to be all over the TV.
You will not see these numbers in the MSM. Instead you will find some bogus poll that supports the illegals.
All we have to do is not give in to the Buchananoids and support the GOP--BUT (big, Hillary-sized but) we have to pressure the GOP to do the right thing on immigration.
A tough task, but just imagine how much tougher it will be if the Dems get in in November.
Rass should have asked why, but let me fill in the blanks.
From these results that highly still favor a wall...and the fact Mccain/kennedy/Hagel/Specter/Martinez is no different then the Dem's plan?
I think it's fair to assume the ONLY difference between the two parties is that the House passed an enforcement only bill.
Perhaps McCain, Hagel, Specter and Martinez ought to get onboard with Sessions, Hayworth etc..
NOt to worry, the MSM will have a poll out tomorrow noting the completely different number.
And this was taken April 1&2 BEFORE THESE PIMPLY FACED MORONS STARTED RUBBING MEXICAN FLAGS IN OUR FACES. What will the numbers be the next time Ras does this poll?
That will nail it down.
The numbers show that people are way too trusting. I trust very few politicians and neither party.
Disagreements within the GOP won't kill them but the hateful spirit will.
37% + 31% is 68%. Count me in the other 32%
The GOP is letting the country down on this one. The Dems actively court the votes of illegals who are on the welfare gravy train to a greater extent than the general public. The GOP, benignly neglects the issue for a variety of reasons. There's the cheap labor argument; there's Bush's well intentioned but feckless hispanophilia.
Even generally conservative publications like the Wall Street Journal and Forbes, sane on many issues, are out to lunch on this one. They focus on the problems skilled, educated guest workers experience with the immigration bureaucracy while paying minimal attention to the problems caused by the flood of un-vetted invaders coming in through the unprotected borders.
All you have to do is watch these demonstrations. They are a measure of how bad the problem is, not the will of the citizenry. They're working, and can't afford to demonstrate in those sorts of numbers.
I would vote for a real "seal the borders" candidate, but its hard to believe either party is capable of producing one. If we won't protect the borders, why have an immigration debate, or worry about security?
So 66%, two thirds of U.S. citizens don't trust federal government in general on immigration.
I guess even several liberals see the writing on the wall that illigal immigration will destroy the U.S. if it is not stop and those illigals here in the U.S. are not sent back to Mexico.
This is big, this is a top issue right now, and if the public thinks the answer to immigration lies with the GOP, we will win big in November. That's gonna leave a mark.
I always enjoy Rasmussen's polls more than the others. What is their methodology- is it reliable or just telling us what we want to hear?
Except for a few sheeple who can always be fooled, I would think the vast majority of Americans would trust neither party on immigration and be looking for other alternatives.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national opinion survey found that 37% of Americans now trust Republicans more than Democrats on the issue of immigration. Just 31% trust the Democrats more.
Any study of GOP leadership on the issue of immigration should divide the House, Senate, and White House. The Republican House is showing strong leadership on this issue, and would have far hither "trust" numbers than would the Senate...and "you know who" on this issue.
and imagine if our guys were actually out there telling people with a unified voice that the Dems support amnesty.
unfortunately, Bush himself as well as other perceived GOP leaders (McCain) being for the senate bill, is thwarting a unified message getting out against the Dems on this issue.
The republicans have a chance to clean house this election and in 2008 if they just do the right thing. Close the borders, and take the steps necessary to get the 12 to 25 million illegals out of the country (i.e., employer sanctions, cut off public services, enable local law enforcement to aid INS, etc.). The majority of hispanics that are here support getting tough on illegals.
