Immigration, voting rights, gay marriage face partisan divide
A McClatchy-Marist poll found Americans were divided largely along political lines when it came to issues such as immigration. While more than two-thirds of Republicans think immigration policy should be about border security, less than one-third of Democrats feel that way.
Likewise, three quarters of Democrats feel voting discrimination is still a problem while less than a quarter of Republicans agree. Select a question below to see how responses broke down by party.
