Liberal Democratic primary voters setting nominee up for general election angst on immigration

Democratic primary candidates are appealing to increasingly pro-immigration primary voters by touting liberal immigration policies, but the eventual nominee may run into trouble in the general election, a new poll suggests.

Democratic primary voters’ immigration views have trekked leftward since January, even as the average American is still much more likely than not to support conservative immigration policies, according to a Morning Consult/Politico poll taken Aug. 23-25.
