PHOENIX (AP) — A poll released Wednesday says an overwhelming majority of Arizona voters support the types of provisions contained in the state's new immigration law.
The survey conducted on behalf of Arizona State University's Morrison Institute for Public Policy found 81 percent of registered voters approved of requiring people to produce documents that show they're in the country legally.
Seventy-four percent believe police should be allowed to detain anyone who's unable to verify their legal immigration status.
And 68 percent say police should be allowed to question anyone suspected of being in the country illegally.
The survey of 614 registered voters was conducted July 16-Aug. 6 and has a sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
