A new Washington Post/ABC News poll finds a solid majority, 61%, supporting an immigration plan with earned citizenship for the undocumented. The American people also want to fix the broken immigration system to curtail unauthorized immigration into the United States and set up an orderly immigration process.

Quote:
Another issue that has served as a Republican rallying cry, immigration reform, may become more difficult terrain for them. While 74 percent said that the government is not doing enough to keep illegal immigrants from entering the country, including majorities across party and demographic lines, public sentiment has shifted away from that view since its peak in 2007 among most groups outside the Republican core. At the same time, a growing slice of the population -- including Republicans -- support the broad outlines of a plan giving illegal immigrants "the right to live here legally if they pay a fine and meet other requirements." Six in 10 overall (61 percent) would support such a plan, up from 52 percent in June 2007. Support is highest among younger voters, and independents have gone from being roughly split on the plan to being mostly in favor of it, 59 percent now support it.
An earlier New York Times/CBS News poll found rising support for comprehensive immigration reform with earned citizenship.

The poll also finds 51% want stricter gun control, 49% support marriage equality, and 46% support marijuana legalization.

These polls aren't really "open" to the public. In order for polls to be accurate, the have to be random.

Nice to see the second one in a row.
