Some highlights:
Immigration and border security was far and away “the number one issue facing the United States in terms of domestic security,” the poll results show. Fifty percent of all respondents chose it above port security, at 20 percent, transit security, 10 percent. Aviation security, the final choice, was picked by just 4 percent.
The perception of immigration and the border as the key domestic security issue was particularly notable among Republicans, of whom 75 percent picked it, and independents, 55 percent.
This seems to belie the general perception that imigration is just not that big an issue with the public or the Republican base. But remarkably, the Republican Presidential candidates believed to be most capable of dealing with the immigration issue were Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani.
It's possible that the people selecting Giuliani know and approve of his immigration stance, but it seems more likely that they are simply unaware that he has a similar position on immigration to Bush and McCain.
