Polling on Immigration Reform in Battleground States

The New Democractic Network (NDN) has released a new set of polls looking at how the immigration issue is playing out in four states that will be instrumental in electing the next President: Florida, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada. Poll findings suggest overwhelming support for Comprehensive Immigration Reform and that embracing the idea as a pragmatic, effective way to fix the broken immigration system can be a winning issue for candidates and elected officials.

Pages 51 through 55 contain presidential trial heats, albeit somewhat dated ones considering that the poll was conducted from August 6 through August 13.  What is interesting, though, is the breakdown among Latinos (see page 54) regarding whether Obama or McCain “would do a better job on the immigration issue.” Thanks to David Schlesinger for noting this.
