That same CBS poll found that 51 percent of Americans disagree with Trump’s immigration ban, while 45 percent support it.

At the same time, another poll released by Investor’s Business Daily found 51 percent of Americans expressing support for the immigration ban. (RELATED: Majority Of World’s Muslims Untouched By Trump’s Visa Ban)
