That is the problem with polls. They are inherently bogus. You will get two entirely different polling reports by simply changing a few key words.Trump has never said he would close all mosques. He would close mosques which foment terrorism.Would you support or oppose shutting down mosques in the U.S.First, the polling organization is PPP, a Democratic organization, and therefore biased.Hard to believe this is America
The GOP's despicable rush to demonize refugees
A poll just out from the Democratic firm PPP found that 27 percent of Republican primary voters support having the government shut down every mosque in the United States; 38 percent were opposed, and 35 percent were unsure. A full 41 percent of Ted Cruz supporters and 37 percent of Trump supporters want to shut down all mosques.
Only 38 percent of Republican voters realized how wrong it would be to shut down mosques
Second, if you read the poll, it does not say EVERY mosque in the United States in the poll question:
Would you support or oppose shutting down mosques in the United States?
I can't believe that 16 pages into this topic no one had bothered to fact check that claim.
Seems pretty straight forward
That is probably how most people interpreted the question. Your claim that the people polled would "shut down every mosque in the United States" is bogus.
Whatever the case, it is a poorly worded question precisely because of its ambiguity.
The poll said support shutting down mosques in the U.S.
Not shutting down mosques involved in terrorism or shutting down some mosques.......low information republicans jumped at the chance
You read into them what you want them to say. n your case, you want it to demonize the other side and that is exactly what you see.
