Furthermore, 61 percent of voters favor a an Arizona-style law for their own home state.
More from Rasmussen:
Eighty-six percent (86%) of all Likely Voters say the immigration issue is at least somewhat important to how they will vote for Congress this November, with 55% who say it is Very Important.
Those who say the issue is Very Important to their vote are even more likely to oppose the government action. Seventy-two percent (72%) of those who rate the immigration issue Very Important to their vote disagree with the Justice Department challenge.
On the other hand, the nation’s Political Class thinks the legal challenge is a great idea. Seventy-three percent (73%) of Political Class voters agree with the Justice Department decision to challenge the Arizona law, while 67% of Mainstream voters disagree and oppose that challenge.
But then 71% of Mainstream voters favor passage of an Arizona-like immigration law in their home state. Seventy-two percent (72%) of Political Class voters oppose passage of such a law.
Among all voters nationwide, just 28% oppose passage of an immigration law like Arizona’s in their state.
Emphasis mine and highlights the point I made in an earlier post from this morning, titled "AZ Immigration Law Already Implemented In RI; 3 Other states To Introduce Same Type Of law And Illegal Immigrations Costs To States," when I said:
So, let us recap:
The Obama administration, who is well aware of the federal costs of illegal immigration, as well as the massive cost to taxpayers in every state, has filed a lawsuit that legal precedent has already been established on and not in favor of the administration's arguments, doing so against the majority of Americans who are supportive of AZ's new law and believe their state should pass one similar, has filed a lawsuit that is doomed to fail.
Why would they do this?
Politics. Democrats are looking at potentially the biggest loss of seats since 1994 in the House, they are bleeding support from almost every demographic bloc of voters, presidential disapproval is at an all time high, congressional approval at an all time low and they have absolutely nothing left to "rally their troops" so to speak.
If this is all they have left, November is going to brutal for them, even worse than originally projected.
Brutal indeed.
