Turns out Californians aren't so split on immigration: more than two-thirds of folks in the state, including nearly half of Republicans, support putting working undocumented immigrants on a path to legal status, or so says the latest poll.

According to a Public Policy Institute of California poll, 69 percent of Californians think undocumented immigrants who have lived and worked in the U.S. for two years should be given a chance to keep their jobs and eventually apply for legal status. That includes 78 percent of Democrats and 47 percent of Republicans.

Only 28 percent of Californians - 18 percent of Democrats and 50 percent of Republicans - think such immigrants should be deported.
