Its funny. How much does the framing of the question shift the survey? For example what's your response to these two questions:

(Yes or No) Do you approve the new travel ban enacted by President Trump on individuals from seven predominantly muslim nations?

(Yes or No) Do you approve the new travel ban enacted by President Trump on individuals from seven countries on the U.S. State Department's Terror watch list?

The evening news focused on the first verbiage in all of their coverage. It was funny because NBC news framed it as targeting Muslims, then ran a story about how a group of Christians from Somalia were being impacted.

Option 3:

Do you support a temporary freeze on travel from individuals from countries that sponsor terrorism while the US government develops a program to better screen those wishing to enter the country.
