‘Eye-Popping’ Support for Arizona Law

By Mark Krikorian

Arizona voters overwhelmingly favor even the most controversial provisions within SB 1070, according to a poll released Wednesday Arizona State University’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy.

The electronic poll, conducted by the Morrison Institute and Knowledge Networks, sampled 614 Arizona voters regarding three of the most controversial measures in SB 1070:

  • requiring people to produce documents verifying legal status
  • allowing police to detain those unable to produce verification of legal status
  • requiring police to question anyone they suspect may be in the country illegally

The poll found that 64 percent of all registered voters support all three provisions, while only 17 percent oppose all three.

In response to the finding that 93 percent of Republicans support the provision allowing police to detain anyone unable to verify their legal status, the research director for the institute said:

“I’ve been doing research for 30 years, and it’s really hard to get any group to have more than 90 percent agreement on any issue,” Daugherty said. “The size of the majority supporting [these provisions] is a little eye-popping.”

I couldn’t resist putting Jim Carrey’s eye-popping “Mask” image next to this post.
