- African Americans were the most approving of the president (64 percent), higher than Hispanics (57 percent)
- The Pacific region of the country had the highest approval rate of the president’s handling of immigration, weighing in at 42 percent. The West North Central had the lowest rate of approval (21 percent) while the Midwest weighed in with 26 percent.
- Regional disapproval rates were much higher, ranging from 50 to 73 percent. The Pacific registered the lowest rate of disapproval (50 percent) while again the West North Central region expressed the most disapproval (73 percent).
- 42 percent of respondents with a post-graduate degree approved while only 28 percent of those with less than a college degree agreed.
- Urban dwellers were most in support while residents of rural areas were most opposed.
- Democratic men were easily the most supportive demographic group, with 63 percent approving of Obama’s management of immigration. Republican men voiced the most disapproval (84 percent).
- The most ironic finding came near the end of Question #64, where those who said jobs were the most important issue, showed the second highest approval rate (42 percent). Eighty-four percent of those who viewed the deficit/debt as the most important issue disapproved of the president’s handling of immigration.
