Washington Week with The Atlantic

Widespread Backlash to Donald Trump's Proposed Muslim Ban

24m 17s

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump drove the 2016 presidential debate this week after proposing to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. A poll released this week showed 57 percent of Americans oppose the plan, and many of his Republican and Democratic opponents have announced their opposition. But Trump's support among Republican voters is only growing as voters appear to like his tough talk.
