Washington, DC – Public Policy Polling, which is known for adding questions in surveys to exploit Republicans who are less informed, recently found that 30% of Republican voters would support bombing Agrabah, a fictional country in the Disney film Aladdin. On December 20, 2015, WPA Research fielded a national survey of 1,132 registered voters that found 44% of Democrats would support taking refugees from that same Agrabah. PPP may have proven that some Republicans will support bombing a fictional country, but fully 44% of Democrats will allow refugees from anywhere into the country, whether they are potential ISIS supporters from Syria or potential cartoon characters on a magic carpet ride.
Would you support or oppose allowing refugees from Agrabah to be re-settled in the United States?
Democrats

Indifferent 28%

Young Democrats
Additionally, Democrats ages 18-34, a key constituency of President Obama, are especially eager to take in imaginary refugees.
Nearly two-thirds of these voters support accepting refugees from Agrabah.
This is particularly suprising given this generation grew up watching Disney films such as Aladdin.

Methodology
WPA Research conducted a national survey of Registered Voters. WPA Research selected a random sample of registered voters from various state voter files using Registration Based Sampling (RBS). The sample for this survey was weighted based on gender, age, ethnicity, and geography.
Respondents were contacted by phone via Interactive Voice Response (IVR) December 20th 2015. The study has a sample size of 1,132 Registered Voters with a margin of error of ±2.9% in 95 out of 100 cases. The Democratic subsample has a sample size of 384 voters which has a margin of error of ±5.0% in 95 out of 100 cases.
