HUFFPOLLSTER: Trump’s Muslim Ban Proposal Unlikely To Hurt Him Among Republicans


By Natalie Jackson, Dec 11, 2015 Huffington Post

AMERICANS REJECT TRUMP’S MUSLIM BAN PROPOSAL - HuffPollster: "A solid majority of Americans opposes Donald Trump's plan to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., but Republicans are divided on the proposal, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Thursday. Fifty-seven percent of Americans said they were against the 'proposal to bar Muslims from entering the U.S.'....Three in four Democrats opposed Trump's plan, but Republicans were split. Thirty-eight percent of GOP primary voters favored the proposal, and 39 percent opposed it."

Another poll shows more Republicans in favor of the ban - More from HuffPollster: "A Bloomberg/Purple Strategies poll released Wednesday also found a majority opposed to Trump’s 'temporary ban on all Muslims who are citizens of foreign countries from entering the United States.' But that poll showed a stark divide among Republicans and Democrats. Sixty-five percent of likely Republican primary voters were in favor of the plan, while 22 percent were opposed. Among likely Democratic primary voters, 75 percent opposed the plan and 18 percent favored it. This difference in the two polls is likely due in part to the wording of questions. The WSJ/NBC poll question included more details of Trump's plan than did the Bloomberg/Purple Strategies poll." A CBS/NYT poll out Friday morning also shows that a majority of Republicans supports a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. [HuffPost, CBS]
