Less than one-third of Americans think Trump's travel ban will make them safer
New York
IMPOSING a temporary travel ban on citizens from seven Muslim countries, President Donald Trump said the move would help protect the United States from terrorism. But less than one-third of Americans believe the move makes them "more safe", according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday.
The Jan 30-31 poll found that roughly one in two Americans backed the ban, which also suspends admission of all refugees for 120 days, although there were sharp divisions along party lines.
