This polled liberal as well as conservatives. There is no way to tell of that 53% who answered favorably for including citizenship question was conservative or liberal.

Do we need to know, if these people were randomly chosen?

Personally, I think the citizen question should be a part of the census question, to get a better idea of the current population.

It was on there for 70 years. It only came off because Obama took it off. The democrats want it to stay off because districts are drawn according to population. That means more representatives for areas with large illegal immigrant population. Honestly districts should be drawn according to legal citizen population.
