Rasmussen: Silent Majority Approves Immigration Ban
zerohedge.com ^ | Jan 30

Posted on 01/30/2017 5:54:25 PM PST by Helicondelta

While vocal, and often violent, disaffected Hillary protesters may get a lot of media attention, a new Rasmussen poll out today reveals that the silent majority of Americans, men and women who don't have time to protest 24 hours a day because they actually go to work to provide for their families, support Trump's temporary immigration ban from 7 mostly-Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa.

In fact, per the new poll, 57% of likely U.S. voters actually approve of the ban while only 33% were opposed.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 57% of Likely U.S. Voters favor a temporary ban on refugees from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen until the federal government approves its ability to screen out potential terrorists from coming here. Thirty-three percent (33%) are opposed, while 10% are undecided.

Similarly, 56% favor a temporary block on visas prohibiting residents of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the United States until the government approves its ability to screen for likely terrorists. Thirty-two percent (32%) oppose this temporary ban, and 11% are undecided.

“57% of likely U.S. voters actually approve of the ban while only 33% were opposed.”

This is the real reason behind Schumer’s tears.

Silent Majority isn’t a good nomenclature. More like, too damned busy putting food on the table to go out and beat the shit out of some damned Commie/Islamic Jihadi protesters.

The left always over plays their hand. Occupy, BLM, and now this.
People are just tired and fed up of idiots blocking roads when they are trying to get to work, get a flight, train, go to work.

There will be more protests, and they will get more violent as usual , and the Dems on the west coast and the north east will not understand most of America is not with them.

They are the party of radicalism, and are out of touch with the country.
Keep it up please lefty as you ill give us more seats in the senate in two years.

I long ago stopped taking in the garbage put out by Hollywood, but I agree that if everyone who voted for Trump would stop going to movies and watching their crappy shows on tv, they would have to feel it.

I most certainly hope so. The Dems have 23 Senate seats to defend, I believe, many of them in states that Trump won.

By 'silent' I take that to mean those of us responsible citizens who pay the freight here in America and are not out in the streets rabble rousing at the urging of community organizer #44.

"President Obama is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country," Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said.

"Citizens exercising their constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake."


A little reminder about former #44 - It was he and Hitlery Klintoon that set the middle east on fire and created all these refugees. So now he gets to go back to his much-loved profession of choice - street agitator.

But now we speak with one another and with less fear
Something changed for many of us here I believe. This time our activism is different then the snowflakes and Marxists but its definitely much more prevalent.

The combination of the Tea Party Movement, online communities like here and elsewhere along with the Dynmo that is President Trump are combining into a much more energetic responsive conservative action/results oriented zeitgeist... and we won!

I'm sure you can feel the excitement. The medias blood is in the water. The media knows we hate them now and they are finally realizing the size of the population that has their number.
Their influence is at an all time low, as loud as they scream its not moving the needle

Its so sublime -
