“Donald Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban all Muslims from the United States has proved popular from the beginning. When he first articulated it following the Paris terrorist attacks in November, he surged in the polls and hasn’t slumped since. And while progressives might want to believe the appeal of Trump’s divisive idea is limited to a small subset of conservatives, a new poll indicates Islamophobia actually runs deep across the spectrum of the American electorate.
The Morning Consult survey, conducted in the days following the Brussels terrorist attacks, shows 50 percent of American voters supporting “a temporary ban on all Muslims traveling to the United States,” while 49 percent favor Ted Cruz’s proposal to implement “additional law enforcement patrols of Muslim neighborhoods.” More than 70 percent of Republicans favor both of those proposals, but about one-third of Democrats do as well.
Trump and Cruz have seized upon the Brussels attacks to fear-monger about Muslims, but the numbers indicate Americans are seven times as likely to be killed by a right-wing extremist than they are by a Muslim terrorist. Another recent poll showed Americans have a double standard about judging whether self-identified Christians and Muslims are committing violence in the name of their religion — only about 19 percent of respondents said they believe Christians who commit acts of violence in the name of their faith are authentic Christians, while nearly twice as many respondents (37 percent) believe Muslim perpetrators are acting in the name of their religion.”
