High Court reinstates Trump travel ban, will hear arguments

Most likely have not heard much because it appears the majority approve of the ban, even almost half of the democrats and a majority of the independents.

Poll: Majority of voters back Trump travel ban

A clear majority of voters supports President Donald Trump’s travel ban on visitors from six predominantly Muslim countries, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.

Polling on the travel restrictions has varied wildly since the Trump administration first unveiled the first executive order in late January. But after months of litigation and controversy, six-in-10 voters back the ban — and the survey suggests the actual policy may be more popular when separated from the president.

Asked whether they support or oppose the State Department’s “new guidelines which say visa applicants from six predominately Muslim countries must prove a close family relationship with a U.S. resident in order to enter the country,” 60 percent of voters say they support the guidelines, and only 28 percent oppose them.

Republicans overwhelmingly back the restrictions, the poll shows. Eighty-four percent of GOP voters support the ban, while only 9 percent oppose it. But the policy is also popular among independent voters: 56 percent support it, compared to 30 percent who oppose it. Democrats tilt slightly against the ban, with 41 percent supporting it, and 46 percent in opposition.

It is interesting, anyone who relies on mainstream media would probably be convinced most opposed the ban, that they thought it was racist, at least that's the impression I get from the coverage I've seen of these Executive Orders, their judicial review. Many more images of protesters denouncing the ban, exclaiming "Muslims Welcome!" than of citizens concerned over potential terrorists or un-assimilating arrivals.

People sitting in their livingrooms nodding in approval don't make the news.
