TeleConference – Analyzing Public Opinion on Immigration

June 1, 2009 in Events by Administrator

From NDN blog:

Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 2, leading pollsters and political experts have scheduled a teleconference to discuss the findings and implications of a series of recent polls and focus groups on immigration reform. Pollsters Pete Brodnitz of Benenson Strategy Group and Celinda Lake of Lake Research Partners will join immigration and political experts Simon Rosenberg, President, NDN, and Frank Sharry, Executive Director, America’s Voice, on a teleconference call to analyze American voters’ attitudes toward tackling comprehesive immigration reform this year.

Tomorrow’s teleconference call comes in advance of President Barack Obama’s June 8 meeting with congresional leaders to discuss immigration reform. Meanwhile, as the research from Benenson Strategy Group and Lake Research Partners shows, the American people want a solution to the nation’s broken immigration system, even during a down economy, and are frustrated with Washington’s inaction and want policymakers to tackle this critical issue.

The conference call is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET tomorrow. The dial-in number is 800-862-9098. The passcode is 7REFORM.

Here is the NDN data strongly suggesting support for immigration reform.

New York Times/CBS polls suggest that around two-thirds of Americans support immigration reform, with 44% supporting a pathway to citizenship.

ABC/Washington Post show that 61% of Americans support providing a path to legal status.
