There's a really interesting new poll out today - from CNN no less - which shows OVERWHELMING opposition by the American people to any attempted boycotts against Arizona as a result of its new immigration enforcement law.  Further, it shows the country moving away from Obama and the Democrats on this issue at a pretty rapid clip.

From the poll:

• A full 82% of Americans as being opposed to boycotts against Arizona - and 57% saying that they support the law.
• 60% of the public favoring immigration reform that focuses on enforcing the law and the border, (instead of the "comprehensive, let's find a way to let them stay and be legal" reform).
• 54% say that they support building the border fence.
• And support for more fines on businesses that hire illegals has risen to 71% (from 58% four years ago).

It should also be pointed out here that CNN sampled over 1,000 "adults" - meaning that their sample wasn't limited to just "registered voters" or even "likely voters", each of which almost always would produce even more "conservative" responses to the questions, (and would be more informative for analysis in terms of potential political / election impact).

The results of this poll (and the fact that similar results show up in internal White House polls) explains Obama's surprise move a few days ago to send a token 1,200 national guard members to help out with border enforcement.  But it turns out that those troops will be spending their time on drug interdiction, instead of working to stem the tide of illegals.  But of course the administration was more interested in the headline, and the small fig leaf it could give them on this issue.

US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will be
used to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to
enforce US immigration laws, the State Department said Wednesday.

The clarification came after the Mexican government urged Washington
not to use the additional troops to go after illegal immigrants. ...

What we have here is an administration which has essentially made this issue a daily project lately, (in an attempt to gin up the Hispanic base in the Democrat Party).  As a result, they've begun to paint themselves into a corner vs. the American public.

Bottom line?  Americans are moving to the right on this issue.  Quick.  Which means they're moving away from Obama and the Democrats just as they're moving quickly in the other direction.
