That's what happens when you try to ramrod a very controversial bill through without debate in the name of 'bipartisanship'.Almost all Americans take dim view of Bush and Congressional actions on immigration reform
Americans give both President Bush and the Congress failing marks on their handling of immigration, according to a new UPI/Zogby poll on the topic.
The Zogby Interactive poll of 8,300 adults nationwide finds just 3% of Americans viewing Congress's handling of the immigration issue in favorable terms, while 9% say the same of the President-even as respondents in the survey rated it the second most important issue facing the country, after the war in Iraq.
As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on an immigration reform bill tomorrow in Washington, Americans said they take a dim view of that bill, with just 38% holding a favorable view of the legislation. The poll also suggests that those most favorably-disposed toward the bill are those who view guest worker programs and a pathway to citizenship for those now in the country illegally as the most important aspects of the immigration debate.
The Internet survey, conducted June 15-18, 2007, included 8,300 U.S. adults and carries a margin of error of +/- 1.1 percentage points, and was sponsored by United Press International.
Anyone think this'll doom McCain's chances?
After all, he is a co-sponsor of this steaming pile.
