Low marks in poll for Obama on handling of immigration reform

The Hill reports:
While Democrats hope that President Obama’s decision to move unilaterally on immigration reform will buoy their electoral chances in the fall, a new poll shows that approval of the president’s handling of the issue has fallen to a record low.

Just 31 percent of Americans say they approve of how the president has handled immigration reform, according to a poll from CBS News.

That’s an encouraging sign for Republicans after the House declined to move on a bipartisan comprehensive immigration bill that emerged from the Senate last year.


Yet, strongman Obama acts like he represents the majority of American voters on the immigration issue.
