WSJ Poll: 57 percent oppose Trump’s Muslim proposal

We have people talking, I will tell you that. Every time we open up the news, people are taking buckshots at us, whether it’s literally or figuratively.

He also pointed to radicalisation in the UK, posting on twitter: “The United Kingdom is trying hard to disguise their massive Muslim problem”. Some 57 per cent of everyone surveyed objected to the proposed Muslim ban with majority saying they objected strongly while 25 per cent favoured it. Among Republican primary voters, 39 per cent opposed and 38 per cent supported the idea, which has been the subject of heated debate since Trump called for a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims’ entry into the country.

Donald Trump may have caused a storm with his recent call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, but outrage appears to have been limited to journalists, pundits and politicians.

For a while, Hillary Clinton enjoyed the jokes made at Donald Trump’s expense, but the Democratic presidential candidate thinks it’s time to stop laughing.

“What Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him serving as president”, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said.

The New England Police Benevolent Association’s# executive board voted on Thursday to support Trump after he promised the death penalty for police killers. Fee, a Republican, said she supports Trump and agreed with his proposal to bar Muslims.

During comments that lasted fewer than 10 minutes, Trump said police have the most hard job and should be given “the finest equipment and the finest training”. Almost half – 46 percent – said his plan has no impact on their vote, while only 16 percent said they’re less likely to vote for him. “So, Donald Trump is a breath of fresh air, as far as I’m concerned”. Of the other four Republican candidates tested in the poll, Ted Cruz came closest with 56 percent calling him very or somewhat decisive, followed by Ben Carson at 53 percent, Marco Rubio at 52 percent and Jeb Bush at just 42 percent. That befuddlement played out in the 24 hours after Trump released his proposal on Monday.

“You know they’re taking away the military equipment”, said Trump.

Even before that comment, two-thirds of American voters said they were concerned or frightened by the thought of a Trump presidency.
