The poll results released Saturday showed 68 percent of voters support enacting a law similar to one recently adopted in Arizona.
It allows police to inquire about the immigration status of people already stopped for other offenses.
Three-quarters of whites and 63 percent of Hispanics said they would support such a law. Just under half of blacks approved.
The poll was conducted Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Washington from July 8 through July 13 and paid for by 13 Georgia newspapers.
It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points overall.
