I don’t like/trust most polls. In fact I tend to like to poke holes in all of them. The only reason I am referencing this National Journal Blogger Poll is because, yes, I am on the blogger panel and usually am (blogputa that I am), but also because I was struck by the three way split on the “left” side of the blogosphere (I wonder how many of the peeps on the “left” side consider themselves “radical”?).
According to the poll of those on the “left”, 40 percent said CIR was somewhat unlikely, 30 percent said it was somewhat likely, and another 30 percent said very unlikely. If you want to know where I stood you can guess based on my writings or visit the poll. I’m the one with the coolest name.
The results coming in from the “right” were less surprising and contained the usual “buzz words” on the Latino vote and of course, men from space. 55.6 percent majority called CIR very unlikely and 11.1 percent judged CIR as somewhat likely.

I don’t understand why people who dislike Latino immigrants so much read us and link to us (I certainly can’t be bothered to visit any of their blogs/websites). But one of our readers sent us a link to a recent PollingPoint poll on immigration. While the demographics of who took the poll remain unclear (which always raises flags to me), according to the poll the younger you are, the more likely you are to think that immigration is not a big problem. Latinos are more likely to think that immigration has favorable effects on the economy than whites or blacks and a strong majority don’t want children of undocumented people in public schools.
According to respondents, 24 percent do support allowing children of illegal immigrants to attend schools, but a majority, 61 percent are opposed to it.On this question women are also more supportive than men of allowing children of illegal immigrants to attend school.
