Rolls NEW Crock Pot Bagged Meals Post Staff MILWAUKEE — Voters in the Greater Milwaukee area are the most confident in Foxconn's economic advantages compared with people living in Wisconsin's other regions, according to a new Marquette Law School poll. Overall, the majority of registered voters statewide — 57 percent — say that the Foxconn plant will substan- tially improve the economy of the Greater Milwaukee area, while 35 percent do not think it will and 8 per- cent don't know. However, there is a shift in opinion when asked about businesses in a spe- cific region benefiting rather than general eco- nomic impact. In the Greater Milwau- kee area, 37 percent of vot- ers who responded said businesses in their region would see direct benefits from Foxconn, while 58 in the region said it would not. Moreover, the farther from the proposed Foxconn factory that Wisconsinites live, the less confident they are in Foxconn's economic benefits. Just under a quar- ter of voters in Green Bay think local businesses will grow from Foxconn and 17 percent in the northwest part of the state said the same. The Foxconn plant will be built in Mount Pleasant with $3 billion in state fund- ing, which is forecast to pro- vide up to 13,000 jobs, plus an additional economic impact in the state. When asked if Foxconn will be worth the state's investment, City of Milwaukee residents were sharply divided with their suburban counterparts. Thirty percent of City of Milwaukee residents say it's worth it and 56 percent say it's not worth it, com- pared with 52 percent say- ing Foxconn funding is worth it and 40 percent say it's not worth it in the rest of the Milwaukee area. The City of Milwaukee was only surpassed by the Madison media market on opposing the state investment, with 24 percent who live there saying it was worth it and 60 percent not worth it. Gun-related issues After the recent school shooting in Parkland, Fla., many in Wisconsin say they support background checks on all private gun sales and gun shows with 81 percent voicing support for such a measure while 16 percent said they would still oppose it. With assault-style weapons, the poll asked whether they should be banned to which 56 percent were in favor and 40 percent were not. The same ques- tion was asked in a March 2013 Marquette poll and 54 percent favored the ban and 43 percent opposed one. The most households that own guns were in the Green Bay area, according to the poll results, with 57 percent owning at least one. The Northwest region has the second most with 50 per- cent of households having a gun. Statewide, 44 percent of voters live in households with a gun and 48 percent do not, with 8 percent not knowing if they do or declining to answer the question. Political support The survey respondents were also asked about their views on politicians on the national and state level. President Donald Trump gained a little support with a 43 percent approval rating and 50 percent disapproval from those surveyed Feb. 25- March 1, compared with Marquette's June survey of 41 percent approving and 51 percent disapproving. The views on Trump are sharply divided along party lines, with 89 percent of Republicans approving and 8 percent disapproving while 89 percent of Democrats disapprove of Trump and 9 percent approve. Among independ- ents, 34 percent approve and 53 percent disapprove. Gov. Scott Walker's job approval stands at 47 per- cent and disapproval at 47 percent. In June, there was also a tie, with 48 percent approving and 48 percent disapproving. The approval rate is a bit better than a year ago when 45 percent approved and 48 percent dis- approved. When it comes to whether Wisconsin is head- ed in the right direction, 53 percent said in the latest poll that it is, the same per- centage as in June, while 44 percent say it is on the wrong track, compared with 42 percent in June. Support for citizenship According to the poll, most voters, 71 percent, say they support a path to citi- zenship for undocumented immigrants who are work- ing in the U.S. Fourteen per- cent responded that they think undocumented immi- grants should stay tempo- rary guest workers and 9 percent said all undocu- mented immigrants should be required to leave the country. Even more support was shown for "DREAMers," undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. Eighty-six percent said those individuals should be able to stay in the country and apply for citizenship and 8 percent said they should be able to stay as per- manent residents without being allowed to apply for citizenship.
