Poll: Spitzer License Plan A Bad Idea

No matter how enamored the governor thinks everyone is with his plan to give drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, a new poll finds a majority of New Yorkers oppose the measure.

According to the Zogby polling group 58% of all State residents think Governor Eliot Spitzer's plan is a bad idea. In New York City the proposal is opposed by a thin margin, 52-48, 56-37 in the City's suburbs and 64-25 upstate. Across parties the poll found Democrats to be narrowly in favor of the plan, while New York Republicans overwhelmingly oppose it.

The poll also found Spitzer's plan to be popular among younger voters, but is opposed by New Yorkers over 30. More [here].
