A poll released Thursday showed that 57 percent of Americans oppose Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States.
Trump had said Monday that he would institute a “complete and total” shutdown of Muslims immigrating to the country.
The NBC/WSJ poll showed broad support for the ban among Republicans — 42 percent supported the ban and 36 opposed it. But among Republicans likely to vote in the primaries, 38 percent supported it and 39 percent said they were against the ban.
Seventy-five percent of Democrats and 55 percent of independents said they opposed the ban.
The poll was conducted from Dec. 8-9 among 495 respondents. It had a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points.
I am saddened that it is only 57%
I’m rather surprised that many oppose it.
Hey, 43%! Boo!
You’re colossal wimps, just like your idol, Trump.
Rest of US decline to be afraid, very afraid.
Which means that 25% of Democrats have been affected by the fear mongering from the right.
A good 45% of where I live is Hispanic and 5-10% is Muslim. I hear a good deal of anti-Trump sentiment (to put it kindly). The local Muslim community is keeping a very low profile out of fear of backlash from low information idiots.
