You gotta be careful with these type of polls. If they asked "Do you agree with Obama........." about 50% would say yes just to agree with Obama and not know anything about the issue.
Absolutely true. And then they would blame Bush and call you a racist for not agreeing. Standard operating procedure from Obama supporters.
Obama can't be held accountable for jack, because he is "Special".
I think that poster was referring to the following:
"But here's a fact that goes without much attention: Asians have now taken over Latinos as the largest group of new arrivals every year.
In 2010, 36% of new immigrants were Asians compared to 31% for Hispanics, according to a report released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center."
While most are not illegal, excepting those who overstay their visas and/or are smuggled in via container ships, etc., I actually think that this is more alarming for our country since they are more likely to take higher-paying jobs than are their Latino counterparts.
Anyway, doesn't surprise me that so many support the president. I've not heard anyone I know personally express disapproval. Small sample size, sure, but, there you go.
How is it alarming avg Asian immigrant has much higher education Several of them have Phds and some even start a business Even in US schools majority of people getting Phd and masters in science and engineering are foreign students.
I think think this whole poll media ploy is just a distraction from the real issue. Abuse of power for the benefit of the current potus reelection bid. Americans and legal immigrants from all nationalities should be enraged about this latest dictatorial action. By passing the democratic process is not forgivable IMO.
Mr. Romney’s campaign released an outline of his plan, which would include giving green cards to immigrants who earn advanced degrees at American universities; providing a path to legal status for illegal immigrants who serve in the military; and cutting red tape.“As president, I will stand for a path to legal status for anyone who is willing to stand up and defend this great nation through military service,” Mr. Romney said.
The nearly twenty-minute speech was met with tepid applause and moments of pointed silence.
So sad to see our own citizens betrayed by our elected officials.
This poll was taken the very next couple of days (over the weekend) after Obama came out with his speech. There was and still is so much mis-information out there on this policy that of course the initial numbers will show good, but watch as the information gets cleared up and time goes by, those numbers will flip. This short spike in approval will be just that, a short spike.
