Exit polls in Michigan show 6 of 10 Republicans support temporary ban of Muslim immigration
It was one of the more controversial ideas put forward by GOP front-runner Donald Trump, and it seems to have significant backing by a number of Republicans in Michigan, a state with a large number of Muslims. According to exit polls, 6 out of 10 Republicans in the state support a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration, Breitbart.com said Tuesday.
Breitbart added:
The proposal — championed by Republican frontrunner Donald J. Trump — was even more popular in Mississippi, where 7 out of 10 Republicans favored a ban on Muslim travel. Those proportions match the range of responses among the states that voted a week ago on Tuesday, ranging from 64% (Virginia) to Alabama (78%).
The exit polls confirm recent public polling results, such as a WXYZ / Free Press poll that showed 61% support in Michigan for a ban on Muslims. Local Muslims in Michigan reacted with concern at the poll results.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Trump won Michigan’s primary Tuesday night, having secured over 36 percent of the vote.
