53% Favor Automatic Immigration Checks During Traffic Stops
Over half of voters still think police officers should automatically check someone’s immigration status if they pull them over, but that is the lowest finding to date.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters think police should automatically check immigration status during traffic stops, down from 60% in August.
Thirty-seven percent (37%) do not think police should automatically check immigration status, the highest finding in surveys since November 2007. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
