ICYMI, a recent YouGov poll shows that democrats back voter ID laws. The only real opposition is hard core partisan Democrats which is why it gets media attention.
The latest YouGov research shows that support for the measure is not just limited to Republicans. 67% of Americans support voter ID laws, with only 23% opposing them. Despite their party’s opposition to the move, even Democrats widely back voter ID laws, with 60% supporting it. Support is much higher, however, among Republicans, with 89% backing voter ID laws and only 4% opposing them. Significantly, a majority of black voters (59%) also support voter ID laws, despite much of the opposition to voter ID laws centering on the potential negative impact it has on minority voters. Support among Hispanics is even greater, with 65% supporting voter ID laws.
