Younger Republicans have more liberal opinions on immigration than do older members of the GOP, according to a new poll. <\/p>\n
Forty-one percent of all Republicans in a pollconductedby the Public Religion Research Institute says immigrants face a lot of discrimination in the United States, The Associated Press reported. <\/p>\n
Sixty percent among Republicans between the ages of 18 and 29 answered the same way, however, compared to only about one-third of voters ages 65 and older. <\/p>\n
A slight majority of Republicans of all ages, 55 percent, say immigrants in the U.S. illegally should have a path to citizenship \"if certain conditions are met.\" <\/p>\n
But among younger Republicans, 62 percent responded that immigrants in the U.S. should have a legal path to citizenship. <\/p>\n
Republicans of different ages also have opposing views on gay rights, according to the poll. <\/p>\n
Fifty-four percent of Republicans between the ages of 18 and 29 say gay and lesbian couples should be able to marry, while just half that percentage of older Republicans responded the same way. <\/p>\n
The poll was conducted with 40,509 interviews from May 18, 2016, to Jan. 10, 2017. The margin of error is 0.6 percentage points. <\/p>\n
