Americans still support Donald Trump's immigration ban, poll shows
The Republican president suffered the biggest defeat of his presidency yesterday as a court refused to reinstate his executive order banning refugees and restricting travel to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries. His decision to halt immigration has been widely criticized with protests across the world, legal challenges and condemnation from Barack Obama. The President sacked his interim Attorney General for failing to enforce his immigration ban, with the White House saying that she had "betrayed" the Justice Department.

Polling by Morning Consult and Politico reveals that the travel ban is, at the same time, one of Trump's most popular and most divisive. A majority of people (55 per cent) approve of the controversial immigration ban, while just 38 per cent disapprove. At the same time, the immigration order had the lowest proportion of people saying that they don't know what their opinion is, out of any of the executive orders signed by Trump. Further signalling the divides in American society after a brutal presidential election, the support for Trump's policy is split heavily along partisan lines. Some four out of five Republicans support the order, while over three out of five Democrats oppose it.
The executive order in question has imposed a 90-day ban on people entering the country from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. It also prevents all refugees from entering the US for 120 days. One of the first polls conducted when the order was first made indicated that half of Americans agreed with it. It addition to more people agreeing with the ban than disagreeing with it, 31 per cent of respondents said the travel ban made them feel safer, compared to 26 per cent who said it made them feel less safe. The IPOs and Reuters poll also showed that 31 per cent of Americans said that it made them feel more safe, while 26 per cent said it made them feel less safe.
