latest poll???? LMAO!!! I guess that's final set in stone!
Lets study and look closely your 1 poll. It says:
The AP-GfK Poll of 1,007 adults was conducted online Dec. 3-7, using a sample drawn from GfK's probability-based KnowledgePanel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
MOST SUPPORT CITIZENSHIP
A majority of Americans — 54 percent — support a way for immigrants who are already in the country illegally to become citizens, while 44 percent are opposed. More than 7 in 10 Democrats are in favor, while about 6 in 10 Republicans are opposed.
Still, a significant minority of Republicans — 4 in 10 — do support a path to citizenship. Four in 10 conservative Republicans and 3 in 10 tea party Republicans favor a path to citizenship for immigrants already in the country illegally.
Six in 10 Americans, including three-quarters of Democrats and nearly half of Republicans, favor providing immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children with a way to stay in the country legally.

NOT A DEALBREAKER FOR GOP
The new poll shows that while tough rhetoric on immigration appeals to a majority of Republicans, most still don't consider it a deal breaker issue.
My conclusion using logic and intelligence:
1) 1,007 people doesn't represent a country of 320 million people and 50 states.
2) its says it interviewed 1,007 adults. It doesn't say how many Democrats versus Republicans versus independents. If they interviewed more Democrats than it explains their 54% result with a margin of error of 3% then is not really a majority and the poll is misleading.
3) The poll says "is not a dealbreaker for the GOP" which is FALSE. No Republican Candidate who is for AMNESTY can win the nomination. That's why Jeb Bush is at 3% in the primary with all the money and name recognition he has . The Top 3 GOP candidates at the polls are against amnesty. Even Rubio changed his tune because he knows he can't win the nomination if he is for full blown amnesty.
4) and the most important, polls are misleading in complex issues. You get a different result depending how you ask the question, for example, if you ask Americans should foreign lawbreakers get special treatment and get citizenship you would get a different result or if you ask should ALL U.S. LAWS be enforced and you get a different result ....its all in how you package the question and how you cherry pick the people to get a result you want.
I hope next time the media throws you 1 poll over a complex issue , you put things under perspective and look deeply how they did the poll in details before you come here and say that represents the whole country and its final....lol
