CBS/NYT Poll Reports "Slim Majority" Of Americans Support Arizona's Immigration Law? 51% Say It's "About Right," 9% Say It Does Not Go Far Enough

CBS reports that "a slim majority of Americans believe the controversial illegal immigration measure recently signed into law in Arizona is 'about right' in its approach, according to a newly-released CBS News/New York Times poll. Fifty-one percent of those surveyed say the law, which critics say essentially mandates racial profiling, takes the right approach, and nine percent say it should go even further. Thirty-six percent say the law goes too far. Two in three Republicans say the law takes the right approach, along with roughly half of independents. Among Democrats, support for the law stands at 38 percent. Americans living in the South and Midwest are more likely than those in the East or West to support the measure." Tweet
