Donald Trump and Bloomberg Politics

presidential campaign: This is a catch-all ASF view; only displays when an unsupported article type is put in an ASF drop zone The latest Bloomberg Politics poll that also shows that immigration, a flashpoint in the 2016 presidential campaign thanks in large point to the incendiary rhetoric of Republican front-runner Donald Trump, is an issue that stirs strong emotions among Americans, some of them contradictory, according to Globe and Mail. While four in ten Americans favour border walls, overwhelming majorities also express positive feelings about immigration: 80 per cent agree the U.S. economy has thrived historically because of new arrivals and 70 per cent expressed approval for the efforts of Pope Francis to encourage nations to be more welcoming of immigrants. And yes, the same percentage favours a wall erected along the nation southern border. It was a point the pontiff made almost immediately upon arriving in the U.S., telling a crowd at the White House: As a son of an immigrant family, I am happy to be a guest in this country, which was largely built by such families. After initially indicating that he thought the idea was worth additional study, Walker later clarified that he didn’t actually want to build a physical wall along the more than 5,000-mile border. Trump has called for a physical wall to be completed along the border with Mexico, a concept that 41 per cent of Americans support and 55 per cent oppose; 56 per cent disagree with the idea of building a wall along the Canadian border, a notion that became one of the gaffes that hurt Walker candidacy, which the Wisconsin governor ended earlier this week.
