Most Americans say federal courts are acting properly in blocking President Donald Trump’s travel ban, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Two versions of the travel ban targeting Muslim-majority countries have been put on hold by federal courts. Trump says the ban is necessary to keep would-be terrorists from traveling to the United States. Opponents, including some state officials, argue that it is intended to keep Muslims out.
Fifty-seven percent of Americans say the courts have acted correctly by blocking the travel ban from taking effect, while 39 percent say the judges are wrongly interfering. The poll shows a sharp partisan divide: 82 percent of Democrats say the courts acted rightly, while 73 percent of Republicans say they’re wrongly interfering.

1. According to the polls, Hillary won the election. The polls also so the Democrats making major gains in congressional special elections.
2. Most Democrats believe Trump is trying to ban all Muslims, rather than persons from countries with no functional governments to assist in catching terrorists.
Most democrats believe that Greg Gianfortes body slamming the instigating reporter Ben Jacobs of The Guardian, was a direct result of trumps attacks on the democrats.
At the same time they spread their vitriol constantly against the republicans. Yet they are not to blame for rep scailis shooting attack. There is a ruling class called democrats where everything is acceptable and Republican vilians. Talk about two sets of books.
