Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Never mind that 17 states and the District of Columbia already grant driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants or that the Massachusetts Major Cities Chiefs of Police Association and a majority of the state's sheriffs support the law, since training and registering undocumented immigrants and requiring them to get insurance actually enhances public safety.
62% : Two issues in particular have ignited Republican ire: Question 1 (the "millionaires tax"), which would apply a small surcharge to incomes over $1 million, and Question 4, allowing undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses in the state.
