Poll: Most support Trump’s temporary refugee ban

Published January 30, 2017 5:51pm ET



The majority of U.S. voters support President Trump’s campaign promise to temporarily suspend immigration from countries that have been havens for terrorism, a promise Trump turned into one of his early executive orders last week.

The Jan. 25-26 poll found 57 percent of likely voters approve of Trump’s campaign pledge. That poll was completed just a day before Trump issued an executive order that temporarily bans immigration from Middle Eastern and north African countries, and also suspend the intake of refugees until better vetting policies can be implemented.
