Rubio's support for immigration reform hurting him with republican voters
Former Alaska governor and current Fox News talking head Sarah Palin is the latest Republican to attack Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) for his high-profile role in the Senate “Gang of Eight” immigration reform negotiations.
According to a new Rasmussen poll, Rubio’s favorability among Republican voters has slipped to 58 percent — down 10 percent from May, and 15 percent from February. According to pollster Scott Rasmussen, Rubio’s high-profile support for immigration reform has driven his decline.
“Most voters favor the concept of comprehensive immigration reform but do not believe that the government is likely to try and enforce the border security provisions of any new law,” Rasmussen writes. “Many have viewed Rubio’s role in selling the reform plan as convincing conservative voters that the border security provisions are acceptable.”
Although Rubio’s falling numbers could imperil his presidential hopes if the Florida senator does indeed pursue the Republican nomination in 2016, his support for reform could benefit him down the line. The same Rasmussen poll finds his favorability among self-described independent voters at 41 percent, up 4 percent from February. And according to a new Pew poll released Sunday, an overwhelming majority of Americans favor reform with a path to legalization — suggesting that Rubio’s leadership on the issue could pay off in a general election.
