Snap polls conducted after Republican frontrunner Donald Trump said he'd like to ban all Muslims from the United States show support for the proposal.
Almost two-thirds of likely Republican primary voters support the proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. for an unspecified period of time, according to an online survey from Bloomberg Politics. While 65 percent said they favor the proposal, 22 percent said they oppose it while 13 percent said they don’t know.
Even with added context, with the pollsters explaining both sides of the argument, the numbers remained almost unchanged.
Those polled were later asked whether the proposal makes it more likely they'll vote for Trump.
