On Monday, USA Today released a poll that might have buoyed the spirits of those who support President Barack Obama’s planned executive order which will enact portions of the Senate’s failed immigration reform bill. That survey found that an executive order was only slightly unpopular, with 46 percent disapproving and 42 percent approving.
Today, it seems that poll may have given Democrats false hope. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey released on Wednesday revealed that an immigration executive order from Obama would not be that popular at all, even with the demographics the president surely hoped to please.
NBC/WSJ found that only 38 percent of the public are happy with the president’s planned immigration order, while a full 48 percent disapprove. 11 percent of Republicans approve of the move and 37 percent of self-described independents agree. Shockingly, only 63 percent of Democrats in that survey expressed support for an executive order.
Even more surprisingly, that poll found that immigration reform via executive order is not especially popular with even Hispanic voters. Just 43 percent of Hispanics polled support an executive action creating legal status for millions of illegal immigrants while 37 percent disapprove.
In an unusual move, NBC News determined that its own poll shouldn’t be taken seriously. “[T]he sample size here is small (just 110 Latino respondents), so the numbers have a high margin of error,” NBC’s Mark Murray reported.
That’s quaint. When in the history of polling has there been a sub-sample that does not have a high margin of error? With over 100 respondents, that subset is not even all that small compared to most other national polls. The implication here is that readers should move past this poll’s findings and have faith that Hispanic voters will embrace Obama’s executive order.
It’s possible – just possible, mind you – that comprehensive immigration reform is popular while an executive order on that matter is not, even among Hispanics.
The Wall Street Journal’s write up of this survey confirms that conclusion:
At the same time, support for a pathway to citizenship for people staying in the U.S. illegally remained robust, with 57% favoring such a plan and 40% opposing. Support grew higher –to 74%–when people were given details of such a plan, including requirements that they pay a fine, any back taxes and pass a security background check.
This finding comports perfectly with the exit polling conducted on November 4. That survey found that voters who cast ballots in the midterm elections favored a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants to the tune of exactly 57 percent. This suggests that immigration reform via traditional methods – e.g. legislation passed by Congress and signed by the president – is relatively popular.
With Democrats only lukewarm on Obama’s immigration order and Hispanics ambivalent if not downright suspicious of it, one has to ask just who the president thinks he is helping here?
6 years ago, Obamacare wasn’t popular, gay marriage wasn’t popular. This nut job doesn’t care about what’s popular.
Don’t worry. Reid and Pelosi will be telling us all day tomorrow that Americans are going to love “amnesty” when we find out “what’s in it” and it will be “wildly popular”.
It’s do bad that even the Mexicans that have lived here for generations don’t want it. They know it’s going to raise both their property taxes and income taxes through the roof too. No one wants it except the guy who’s getting paid to destroy the U.S.
Utterly fascinating that the 4 networks aren’t touching the live Big Announcement from the White House.
NBC telling a truth? A truth that might hurt their beloved democrats? Odd... very odd.
I wonder how quickly the identities of these new workers will be stolen?
Watching Univision, and they are just giddy about it.
Leftists don’t really believe in the concept of a democracy or a republic. The only thing that matters is making progress toward the Marxist utopia. Dictators can get there quicker, which is why they love them.

The kind of stuff Zero contemplates hasn’t been popular in this country since about 1776.

What about the other 20 percent?
That sucking sound you hear is American dollars going south across the border.
Obama should attend the “events” in Ferguson and explain to the unemployed black residents how his immigration ploys will help them.

get ready for the payback vatos.
Polling: The art of discerning how thoroughly the people were fooled by the results of your last poll.
FYI, ABC Chicago reported on Obama and his executive order on immigration. They mentioned his meeting with "Congress". They failed to mention that Republicans were not invited. They also failed to mention that the executive order is unconstitutional.
