Republicans Don’t Support Path to Citizenship

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds 57% support a path to citizenship for undocumented workers, but that number is just 35% among self-identified Republicans — “evidence of the political peril for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and other GOP politicians involved in the negotiations on a compromise immigration bill.”

Among self-described “conservative Republicans,” the numbers are even more negative, with just 30% supporting the idea.

At the same time, Democratic support is reaching new highs — moving up to 73% from 68% in February — and 84% of self-identified liberal Democrats support providing a path for undocumented workers to gain legal status.
