Talking Points Memo
By Tierney Sneed
January 28, 2016
A
Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Americans approve of President's Obama's
actions on immigration when described broadly -- especially when his
name isn't attached. That
support shrank once the question posed to respondents mentioned that
they were executive actions taken by the president, but a majority of
American still were okay with the plan.
Sixty-one
percent of Americans supported Obama's plan -- which shields some
undocumented immigrants from deportation -- when they were not told
Obama had taken the action,
according to the poll released Wednesday. While half of Republicans
rejected the plan when described this way, 42 percent of Republicans
supported it.
When
pollsters attached Obama's name to the immigration action, 54 percent
of Americans supported it, and opposition grew to 62 percent among
Republicans.
As
for Democrats, their support for Obama's immigration plan increased
when told he was behind it, from 78 percent when he was not mentioned to
80 percent when he was.
The
online poll, which as a sample size of 1,200 people, was conducted the
week after the Supreme Court took up a case earlier this month
challenging the President's immigration
actions.
