A new poll suggests that a plurality of Americans favor a temporary ban on Muslim immigration like the one proposed by Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
The survey by conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports found that 46 percent of likely voters would favor a policy preventing Muslim immigrants from entering the country until tighter screening procedures can be implemented, while 40 percent would oppose such a measure.
Among likely Republican voters, 66 percent would support the ban, while 24 percent would oppose it.
Just 30 percent of likely Democratic voters would favor the proposed ban, while 55 percent said they would oppose it.
Those with no party affiliation said they would support the ban by a 45–39 margin.
Trump has been widely condemned by both parties for suggesting the U.S. should temporarily halt Muslim immigration in the wake of several terrorist attacks.
Round 8 : Trump wins another round versus the GOP and the Media . . . . . . . . . on his way to the Presidency (?)

Riding a wave of racism and fear, way to further a career Mr. Trump.
ReplyDeleteTrump rise is a symptom of what is wrong with America.
Let's wait until Trump is done, shall we? At present, Obama is what is wrong with America.
ReplyDeleteStock markets cranking, unemployment cut almost in half, gas prices lowest in 10 yrs... yea Obama is doing just terrible.
ReplyDeleteWages per hour are down; new worth per family is down more than $5,000 per family; poverty rolls are at high highs; food stamp population is at its largest in history (how is that even possible in a booming economy?); workforce participation is the smallest since 1978 in a workforce population with 80 million more workers.
DeleteGas prices are low because of private sector investments in fracking and shale oil. Obama's plan was to increase the price of fossil fuels to a point that buying alternative fuels would look like a good deal to the consumer. In other words, low priced fossil fuels is a disaster for the Obama Administration.
And the Market, which you commies hate, is doing good (a) because Obama's "too big to fail" (Dodd/Frank) is a miserable failure, and (b) because of 6 years of Quantitative Easing and a federal fund rate of oo% to .25% (FFR should be around 5%, not zero).
A reflection of his party

No wonder you prefer running in your short shorts over intellectual pursuits. The article was about Trump back in his Democrat days.
