What voters really want on immigration and public safety


In the run up to this year’s election, we here at the ACLU knew that candidates would be talking about the two issues of immigration and public safety. Knowing that was coming, the ACLU has been engaged all year in a research project called Battleground Blueprint. We’ve deployed multiple rounds of surveys in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, to get a better look at voters’ attitudes on these two issues.
On this episode, we’ll hear from three people who have been actively involved in this project - Ellen Flenniken, deputy director of the ACLU’s Justice Division, Anu Joshi, national campaigns director on immigration for the ACLU, and Jeff Liszt, a partner at Impact Research, the pollster that conducted the survey in Pennsylvania.
More information about the Pennsylvania results is available here.
And information about the nationwide project is here.
