WASHINGTON — A new poll shows a slip in support for legislation that would create a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants.
A little over half of the respondents, 52 percent, favor the proposal, down from 59 percent on April 4, 11 days before the Boston Marathon terror bombing by two immigrant brothers, according to the Quinnipiac University survey.
The poll showed the bombing influenced respondents, with nearly one in four saying it changed their minds.
