Poll: Joe Manchin to Lose Support Among West Virginians If He Votes for Democrats’ Amnesty Plan
John Binder 14 Jul 2021
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) will lose support among West Virginians come re-election time if he votes for a Democrat budget, via filibuster-proof reconciliation, that includes amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, a poll provided to Breitbart News reveals.
On Wednesday, Manchin reportedly voiced support for giving amnesty to illegal aliens through a Democrat budget that would only be approved via reconciliation — a maneuver that allows Senate Democrats to pass a variety of agenda items with just 51 votes and no threat of a filibuster.
A poll provided to Breitbart News from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), conducted by Zogby Analytics, finds that should Manchin vote for the amnesty-filled budget, he will lose significant support from West Virginians.
About 55 percent of likely West Virginia voters said they would be less likely to support Manchin if he votes for the Democrats’ amnesty plan. Just 24 percent of likely West Virginia voters said they would be more likely to support Manchin if he votes for the plan.
Similarly, 52 percent of likely West Virginia voters said they oppose slipping an amnesty into a federal budget via reconciliation, whereas only 34 percent said they support the maneuver. Likewise, 52 percent said they oppose putting amnesty for illegal aliens into any infrastructure package while 34 percent said they support doing so.
Manchin’s support for amnesty via reconciliation is significant because he, along with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), is considered one of the most moderate Democrats in the Senate and has consistently opposed ending the filibuster.
