Why are there members here supporting having Obama using executive action

[Savannahmann]

70. You are using poll numbers from Jun 2013.

Seventeen months out of date? That is your justification for the huge support?

Exit polling for the last election shows 57% support. But the question was worded asking how many wanted Congressional Action. So just over half the public wants Congressional Action on Immigration.

One poll asked how many would support the President taking Executive Action. One. That poll is here.

Twenty percent support the President taking Executive Action. Now, the only poll you have is fifteen months old. In those polls, the Republicans were hugely unpopular and going to lose the Senate. Today, the Republicans are viewed more favorably than the Democrats. 53% of the people want the Republicans to set the agenda.

So what polling do you have that shows the people support the President taking executive action? Anything from the last ninety days? Or how about this year? Because I watch the polls and I've not seen anything that shows widespread, or even plurality support of Executive Action. Because everything I can see tells me that this is going to harm the Democratic Party enormously. This week, if the President takes the action he's promised, we will lose our chance at the White House in 2016.
