Big Generational Divide on Immigration Reform

A new CNN/ORC poll finds that 51% of Americans say they support a bill that would attempt to increase border security and create a pathway to citizenship for many undocumented immigrants, with 45% saying they are opposed to such a measure.

Said pollster Keating Holland: “Support comes mostly from Democrats – six in ten favor the bill – with independents and Republicans split right down the middle. There is also a generation gap on this issue, with senior citizens opposed to the bill by a 17-point margin, while younger Americans tend to favor it.”
