Arizona has a total population of 6,595,778. If you factor in the undocumented population, which is reported to be between 400-500,000, that still leaves over six million people.
So, why is a telephone poll that surveyed 500 "likely voters" in Arizona being touted in news headlines and on news shows as representing the majority of Arizona citizens?
It doesn't even come close
News outlets citing Rasmussen poll of 70% of AZ voters favor immigration bill are delivering inaccurate news (Latina Lista) (http://www.latinalista.net/palabrafinal/2010/04/latinalistanet_--_arizona_has_a.html - broken link)
My question is - if the majority opposes this law, then why did the elected officials pass this law? Are the elected officials not chosen by the people of Arizona?

Consider the source: that 'latinavista' is a MEChA class pro illegal traitor site.

Polls are designed to sway public opinion and nothing more.

Thats what I thought, you can't.
In conclusion the poll was taken by Rasmussen not latinvista but you chose to ignore all that and instead spewed your bias and indifference instead.
KUDOS!!!
Note how I worded the post that you quoted: 'MEChA class'; I inferred that latinavista is on the same level as MEChA---------not that they are formally associated with one another.

A local poll here in Houston is running 75% for the new AZ law...

And you know full well if the polls showed the opposite, you'd be insisting they are extremely accurate.
Even in a city like El Paso which is 90% hispanic and a huge number are straight out of Mexico, 55% of the people support the Arizona law.
