350 sure seems to be a random number to pick. Turns out it isn't so random. They went with 350 because it is just enough to include every major metropolitan area. I wonder how different the numbers would be if they went with 250 instead. That would exclude Houston, Dallas, Lubbock, Waco, Santa Fe, Flagstaff, most of Las Vegas and tons of wonderful mid-sized progressive California towns.

The article said that support for the wall decreased further as one got closer to the border than the 350, even among Republicans. It also said that the sample size was small enough at the shorter distances that the differences might not be statistically significant.

I'd strongly suspect the number would rise. Will Hurd's vote being supportive of the premise.
