Often debated by Obama and Romney, immigration is seen as less important to many Americans than other issues are. A new poll shows that “swing” voters, which comprise 39% of registered voters, are less likely to see immigration as very important. Among Republicans, the fervor over the issue has significantly died down compared to four years ago; today 46% of GOPers say immigration is very important to their vote today compared to 61% who claimed immigration was important to their vote in 2008. Altogether, an August Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll showed that nearly half of Republicans and three-quarters of Democrats do not want to bother with immigration. They just want a policy that would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for legal status in the U.S.
