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.

Rep. Jim Clyburn is out to not only lead Democrats as majority whip, but to prove himself amidst rumblings that he didn’t do enough the last time he had the job.
