Michigan Supports Arizona Law, Tea Party

Poll: Mich supports AZ immigration law

EPIC-MRA poll shows Tea Party support

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - While only 5% of poll respondents identify themselves as members of the Tea Party, 44% supports the Tea Party movement, a new EPIC-MRA poll revealed.

The poll of 600 Michigan voters - for WOOD TV8 and our broadcast partners - was taken between August 21-23, and has a margin of error of 4%.

On immigration, 72% of those polled support the recently-passed law in Arizona, with 67% favoring a similar bill in Michigan.

Only 27% said they believe the economy has bottomed out and is improving, with another 33% who said the economy is at the bottom but not getting better. But 37% don't think the economy has hit bottom and will get still worse.

When asked what party they consider themselves in, 36% said Democrats, 39% Republicans and 25% independent/other. But when asked if they're liberal or conservative, 23% said liberal and 49% conservative. Another 29% said they were moderate/other.
