Trump controversies lead to 12 point drop in polls
- 9 years ago
Trump's support among the Republicans reached new heights last week at 43 percent, but dropped sharply to 31 percent following a five day poll ending on November 27, the Guardian reports. Trump has been outspoken on issues of immigration and Islam on the campaign trail, telling an NBC News reporter he would back a plan requiring Muslims in the United States to register with a national database, drawing comparisons from critics to the registration of Jews in Nazi Germany. The incident occurred as Trump defended unsubstantiated allegations that watched the "Arab populations" of New Jersey cheer as the World Trade Center collapsed during the September 11 attacks against the United States.
