Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, originally uploaded by Stephen Voss.

The ink hasn’t even dried on the final draft of the Senate’s immigration bill and already about half of the country is opposed to it. The most troubling sign for Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass.) is the resistance from Democrats, who are holding out for a bill that grants even more benefits to illegal immigrants. (Hat tip to Captain Ed.)

Conservatives, much to the chagrin of Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.), have been relentless in their criticism of the legislation. Beginning last Tuesday, when I first reported the details of the legislation, a coalition of right-leaning groups have come together to hammer away at the bill. Today’s Rasmussen poll reveals it has had a significant impact on public’s perception of it.

That hasn’t stopped the pro-amnesty coalition from spreading misinformation about the bill. Today, for instance, McCain sent to his supporters a press release from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R.-S.C.) about the “7 Key Myths.” It reads a lot like the White House’s “Myth/Fact” releases, which I’ve already debunked. (My post on RedState caught the attention of the White House, which posted this response.)
