Poll: Sharp division along political lines on Trump's travel ban

A majority of voters thinks President Trump’s executive order on immigration is better described as a restriction on terrorist hot spots than as a “Muslim ban.” And more think the action makes the U.S. safer than say it makes the country less safe.

Even so, more disapprove (52 percent) than approve (46 percent) of the temporary travel ban.

That’s according to a Fox News Poll released Tuesday.

The least popular part of the executive order is the indefinite ban on Syrian refugees, as 53 percent say it “went too far.”

About as many, 51 percent, think the 120-day ban on all refugees from entering the U.S. “went too far,” and 48 percent feel that way about the 90-day ban on citizens from seven mostly Muslim countries.
