Around 68 percent of registered Arizona voters oppose the deportation of all illegal immigrants in the U.S., a recent poll shows.

The survey, conducted jointly by the Morrison Institute, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and the Arizona Republic, found 19 percent of those polled in favor.

The same poll shows nearly 55 percent of voters oppose the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has pushed both topics to the forefront.

The poll also shows Democrat Hillary Clinton narrowly leading Trump in Arizona, within the margin of error.
