In Victory For Trump, Most Americans Now Support Travel Ban

A new Politico-Morning Consult poll has found that six in 10 American voters now support the new travel ban on people from six predominantly Muslim countries.
As Statista’s Niall McCarthy notes, the research found that 37 percent of people strongly support the State Department’s guidelines while 23 percent somewhat support them.
Only 14 percent are both opposed and strongly opposed to the legislation while 11 percent said they don’t know or have no opinion.
Notably this comes after a US court denies Hawaii’s appeal against Trump’s travel ban…
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals says it lacks jurisdiction to rule on the Trump administration’s enforcement of the travel ban a day after a Hawaii court also declined to weigh in on the president’s executive order. Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin sought clarification on the scope of the travel ban after the Supreme Court allowed partial implementation. On Wednesday, Hawaii lost its challenge in Honolulu district court.
The federal appeals court in San Francisco says legal procedure prevents the panel from reviewing the Hawaii judge’s decision not to consider the state’s case. Three-judge panel says the state of Hawaii may return to the Honolulu court to ask for an injunction against the government’s enforcement of the Supreme Court’s order rather than to ‘clarify’ the court’s order.
