Fifty-five percent of Colorado voters favor a law like the one just adopted in Arizona that authorizes local police to stop individuals they suspect of being illegal immigrants, according to a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state. Thirty-five percent oppose such a law. Nationally, 59% of voters favor a law like Arizona's. In Colorado, 79% of Republican voters and 56% of voters not affiliated with either major party favor a law that cracks down on illegal immigration like the one just adopted in Arizona. Fifty-six percent of Democrats oppose such a law. Bill Ritter, Colorado's Democratic governor, has said that he would veto legislation like the law just adopted in Arizona. Only 40% of voters in the state now approve of Ritter's performance as governor, while 58% disapprove. He announced in January 2010 that he would not seek reelection this year.
