The questions on immigration were prefaced with: "Please tell us whether you would strongly support, somewhat support, somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose the following proposals related to immigration policy." The order of the questions was then randomized. This question read: "Requiring businesses to verify the immigration status of every worker and fine businesses if they are caught intentionally employing undocumented or illegal immigrants." Response options included strongly approve, somewhat approve, neither approve nor disapprove, somewhat disapprove, strongly disapprove, and don't know. Five percent responded "don't know."
