Trump Plan Is Supported in His Party But Widely Opposed Outside the GOP (60% Oppose)
By GARY LANGER Dec 14, 2015 Republicans by more than a 20-point margin support Donald Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States – but independents and Democrats oppose the idea by wide margins, producing a broadly negative reaction among Americans overall.
All told, 36 percent of adults in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll support Trump’s suggestion, while 60 percent say it’s the wrong thing to do. Support reaches 59 percent among Republicans, who account for slightly fewer than a quarter of all adults. But it plummets to 38 percent among political independents and just 15 percent among Democrats

"When I am elected I will have more flexibility"???
That is what happens with people who have no core beliefs.
60% of US adults are apparently suicidal.
60% opposed Obamacare, so what is the point?
” ABC News/Washington Post poll”
Buh bye.
He’s Doomed...again.
Better elect Rubio since everyone loves him.
Pray America wakes
60% *of adults*? Not voters or likely voters? For sure a crap poll.
So don’t be afraid of Cruz being TRASHED by MSM and Hillary!!!! Are you kidding me!!!!
Trump Plan Is Supported in His Party But Widely Opposed Outside the GOP
******************
You have to win the nomination to make that a national election issue.
First things first
Yeah cuz’ Hillary wouldn’t dare trash Cruz, right?
Another MSM “advice” for GOP story.
Exactly what I was thinking.
“That’s right, we want more Democrat voters to insure the government keeps the free stuff coming and besides, it makes us feel better about ourselves. So what’s a few more neck cutters in America? They’ll probably just cut the heads off of those stupid, cold hearted,a Republicans anyw-a-a-y-ah-Ah-Ahhh - my neck, my neck!!! Hey, you were suppose to eat me last remember Mo-ha-mad!? &%$#@!*
You need to first win. Cruz is on message on all three issues you mentioned except he says it differently.
Danny DeVito crossed with Spanky from Our Gang. The Hillary voice vs the Rubio voice for a whole campaign=nightmare. Give Rubio a parasol and he is The Penguin.
If Trump wins the nomination, we’ll have Goldwater revisited.
Were most of those 60 percenters opposed to TRUMP, Muslims, Alinskyites, Republican Establishment?
If 60 percent is true, a Republican of any stripe won’t be clacking through any White House. Certainly not Cruz. Cruz is not going to beat Hillary, because he does not have the broader demographic and cross party support of Trump that covers the loss of the GOP Establishment.
Although, according to *sundance at The Last Refuge blog, Cruz quietly joined the NSRC to cooperate with McConnell and the other GOP Establishment, and gave him 200,000.00 for the favor collecting hat.
Cruz then supported no conservative anywhere, in 2014 senatorial contests, as part of the protocol (nice hide) and therefore was contributing to the Mississippi Treatment delivered against the conservative, by the Haley Barbour machine, to get Thad Cochran (R-MS) back in, as the mule for the establishment.
Trump has no more problems than Cruz is about to enjoy.
According to ABC.....
I don’t cherry pick polls, and am open minded about who would be the best candidate for the GOP in the general election, but I also believe that there are probably plenty of people out there who would vote for Trump, but are afraid to say so because it’s the ultimate in political incorrectness.
Maybe he told them as president he would demolish their country. Ever think of that?
Goldwater was just after JFK’s assassination. Drawing any historical comparison is ridiculous.
