I generally like Mort Kondracke of the "all-stars" on Special Report w/ Brit Hume, weeknights on FoxNews. But the last couple of nights he's been throwing up these manufactured polling numbers on the immigration/amnesty bill like they were gospel. His fellow line-up members have been seen nearly getting physically ill.
So Mort-man chew on these!
A survey conducted May 30-June 3 by the nonpartisan Pew Research Centerfor the People and the Press found overwhelming support - amongtwo-thirds of the public - for giving illegal immigrants citizenship ifthey have jobs, pass background checks and pay fines.
But people were fairly ill-informed about the complex Senate measure, which less than one-third said they had heard a lot about.
Those who had heard at least a little about it were split on the Senatemeasure. Of that group, 33 percent favor the bill, 41 percent opposeand 26 percent gave no response or said they didn't know. Republicans opposed it by 43 percent to 36 percent, Democrats by 37 percent to 33 percent, and independents by 46 percent to 31 percent.
Note every category of voter OPPOSE the bill, and these are ones that had only heard "a little bit" about it. Imagine the numbers if we all were reading the whole thing...
