NC Elon Poll: “Democratic and Independent support for Voter ID law has increased since last year”

Elon Poll on Twitter and link here to the Executive Summary of the poll findings.  Support increased by 5% points overall since 2013, including among Blacks, despite a major offensive by left wing groups opposing the ID reforms. 

Voter Identification 
Seventy percent of registered voters support the law requiring photo identification in order to vote. This is a 5 point increase in support since November 2013. Republicans (96%) are the most supportive of the voter id law, followed by Independents (75%), then Democrats (45%). Support among Independents has increased 7 percentage points and 9 points for Democrats.  September 2013 was the first time the Elon Poll found that a majority of Democrats and African Americans oppose photo identification requirements in order to vote. Prior to that time a majority of both Democrats and African Americans supported the voter ID law. The April 2014 poll found a majority of both groups still oppose the law, but support seems to have grown for both Democrats and blacks.

There is bipartisan support for voter ID, but the ACLU wing of the party seems to be in control of the agenda of the Democratic Party.
