More Polling Data on Immigration

You'll remember that on April 30 we did a post with a link to a Gallup poll which found 51% supported the AZ illegal immigration law, while 39% opposed it. Now here is a New York Times/CBS News poll which finds support for the AZ law is even stronger.

The new poll finds 51% think the law is about right and 9% think it isn't strong enough! Combine these and 60% support state action against illegal immigration. The NYT/CBS poll showed 36% believed the AZ law goes too far, roughly the same number Gallup found.

Do you suppose anybody in Washington is paying attention to the national mood? In our evenly divided nation, 60% in favor of something constitutes a near-landslide.
