More voters approve of President Trump’s controversial executive order on immigration than they do of nearly any other of his orders, a new poll out Wednesday found.

More than half (55%) of registered voters said they approve of the order — which bars people from seven Muslim-majority countries and all refugees from entering the U.S. — while only 38% said they disapprove, the latest Morning Consult/Politico poll found. That would represent the highest rating found in a Morning Consult/Politico poll for any of the executive orders Trump has signed so far. The high mark ties the 55% who said in a Morning Consult/ Politico poll that they supported Trump’s executive order last month to revoke federal government funding for so-called “sanctuary cities.”(nydailynews)…[+]
