By AP Staff: PHOENIX (AP) -- A poll released Wednesday conducted on behalf of Arizona State Universitys Morrison Institute for Public Policy found an overwhelming majority of Arizona voters support the types of provisions that are at the heart of a national debate involving the states immigration law.
The survey found 81 percent of registered voters approved of requiring people to produce documents that show theyre in the country legally.
It found that 74 percent believe police should be allowed to detain anyone whos unable to verify their legal immigration status and 68 percent say police should be allowed to question anyone suspected of being in the country illegally.
The survey of 614 registered voters was conducted July 16-Aug. 6 and has a sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Halfway through the polls duration U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton put the laws
most controversial portions on hold.
Bolton blocked contentious provisions that required immigrants to obtain or carry immigration registration papers and one that required police while enforcing other laws to question peoples immigration status if there is a reasonable suspicion theyre in the country illegally.
