“What we saw are some very familiar fault lines in what Arizonans thought about this issue,” said Mike Noble, chief of research at OHPI, “74% of Republicans were in support of the Governor’s decision and 67% of Democrats were opposed. We also found among those that reported to us as having less than a college education were more likely to support the decision while those with a college education were opposed, although these lines were much narrower.”

A large majority of Independent voters (89%) said they were either extremely proud or moderately proud to be an American. 95% of Republicans and 81% of Democrats also answered this way. 94% of Rural Arizonans said they were extremely or moderately proud to be an American. 92% of those with less than a college education were proud to be an American, 84% of college-educated responded the same way.
