Poll: 49 percent support Trump's immigration ban, 41 percent oppose
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday afternoon found nearly half of U.S. adults support President Trump's executive order to temporarily suspend immigration from seven countries with ties to terrorism, and halt all refugee programs for 120 days.
The Jan. 30-31 poll concluded that 49 percent of adults "strongly" or "somewhat" agree with the Trump administration's action. A total 41 percent "strongly" or "somewhat" disagreed with the White House's move. Ten percent said they are undecided on the Jan. 27 announcement.
The majority of Democrats, 53 percent, said they "strongly disagree" with Trump, while 51 percent of Republicans said they "strongly agree" with the policy to block people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
Thirty-one percent of all respondents said they feel "more safe" with the ban in effect, but 26 percent feel "less safe" as a result of the executive order.
