Most Americans disapprove of Donald Trump’s response to the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla., over the weekend, and a wide majority oppose his proposed Muslim ban, according to a new poll.
Fifty-one percent disapprove of the presumptive Republican nominee’s response to the massacre while just a quarter of Americans, 25 percent, approve, according to the CBS News survey released Wednesday.
The CBS poll also found that Americans largely oppose one of Trump’s signature campaign proposals to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States.
More than six in 10 Americans, 62 percent, think the U.S. should not temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country, while 31 percent said the U.S. should bar them.
The proposal continues to see support from a majority of Republicans, 56 percent, though heading into the general election, 79 percent of Democrats and 62 percent of independents oppose it.
