Poll: Will the Gang of Eight?s Immigration-Reform Proposal Help Your Party?

Will the bipartisan immigration-reform proposal from the ?Gang of Eight? help your party?

DEMOCRATS (95 VOTES)

Yes: 86%
No: 14%

Yes

?Passing any legislation with a legitimate path to citizenship will help Democrats.?

?If it passes, we get most of the credit. If it fails, they get all of the blame.?

?Good government almost always helps those who engage in it.?

?Yes; more importantly, it will help our country. Our immigration system is broken, and we desperately need comprehensive immigration reform.?

?Getting this done is a legacy issue for Democrats.?

?It?s a key accomplishment, and it creates more Democratic voters over time, if we don?t blow it.?

?While Democrats will be advantaged, Republicans will be more advantaged, given that politically they need it more, thanks to the hole they?ve dug for themselves with Hispanics.?

?Yes, although only because the Republicans will be blamed more than the D?s for the cruel proposed pathway to citizenship. Obama should be embarrassed if he supports this.?

?The Latino community wants our party to put action behind their words.?

?Both parties, for once in a long time, will show they can work together.?

?It would solidify the Hispanic vote for a long time. The Hispanic voters would know that the Democrats delivered?bringing along, kicking and screaming, a very reluctant Republican Party.?

?We need to deliver on the promise. Keep hope alive.?

No

?It is likely to have very strict requirements that will be unpopular in the Hispanic community.?

?Immigration reform helps the Republicans. Makes them look less Stone Age.?

?No, it gives Republicans cover on an issue on which they are at odds with history.?

REPUBLICANS (97 VOTES)

Yes: 75%
No: 25%

Yes

?A big risk with our base, but a net plus with swing voters.?

?The GOP will never win on immigration, but it could lose. Anything which moves it off the electoral radar is upside potential.?

?It is just what the doctor ordered?a balanced, reasonable approach to solving a major problem facing the country. And most Republicans will eventually come to see it that way.?

?Resolving the immigration issue is step No. 1 to eliminate the perception that the GOP is intolerant.?

?Marco Rubio is the Pied Piper of conservative policy; whatever tune he is playing, we are following.?

?It?s a gateway issue with the Hispanic community. We either get it right with changing demographics or get used to being a minority party for years to come.?

?Just introducing a bill is helpful, but we also need to pass substantive reform. Otherwise we will continue to refight the policy issue every cycle from an indefensible position, getting none of the political benefits.?

?It will help put a stop to the hemorrhaging.?

?First, it would show GOP [is] not totally obstructionist, and second it would move party closer to where the rest of the country is.?

?Savvy Republicans want immigration off the docket. Destructive Republicans want to keep pushing an agenda of bigotry and exclusion.?

?It?s pushing reasonable voices to the front of the line.?

No

?Lots of gear-grinding on our side, dutifully amplified by the media, punctuated by ugly rhetoric from anti-immigrant GOP members.?

?Republicans have not spent sufficient time articulating what they are for on this issue. They will get zero credit for any reforms passed.?

?What is best for the country is not necessarily a win for either party, and that?s OK.?

?Unless embraced by the grassroots, it?ll hurt Republicans.?
