Survey Says
A series of polls in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, and West Virginia shows that residents are very skeptical about the Gang of Eight bill. In every state, significant majorities are opposed to the prospect of legalization before the guarantee of enforcement. Significant majorities in every state also think that the bill's guest-worker plan is too expansive. This polling might put new pressure on Mark Pryor (D-AR), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Rand Paul (R-KY), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Jon Tester (D-MT), Kay Hagan (D-NC), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Rob Portman (R-OH), and Joe Manchin (D-WV).
