NBC/WSJ poll: Americans overwhelming favor Obama's main policy changes on immigration.

Pathway to citizenship supported by 57 - 40.

Amnesty based on payment of penalty for Dreamers supported by 74 -24.

Page 20, questions 23 and 24.....the mass media is only posting the results of question 22 which shows folks oppose using an EO to do these two things by 38 to 48.

Poll also shows overwhelming support for key Obama supported issues like climate change, student loans reform, raising the minimum wage, infrastructure funding, Ebola funding, etc....., at Question 21, not to mention Obama is 4 times more popular at 43% than Congress.

Folks want to limit carbon emissions but favor building a pipeline that would be a carbon emission bomb....folks are stupid...poling them is stupid, but it must be done.

Poll released today, samples from November 14 to 17.

Be produced, transported, refined, and used whether this one pipeline is completed or not unfortunately. Warren Buffet (who basically own BNSF railway (the primary carrier of oil by rail in these areas) had an interesting interview recently and mentioned the pipeline. He said he didn't care one way or the other if the pipeline gets finished because the bulk of the oil is still going to travel by rail as it currently does now.
