Not sure it’s bigotry or ignorance.

…a new poll among likely GOP primary voters, almost two-thirds said they support a ban on Muslim immigrants. A third of those respondents said Trump’s call makes them feel more compelled to vote for him. The poll, conducted by Bloomberg Politics/Purple Strategies PulsePoll, found half of the likely voters, regardless of their political affiliation, oppose Trump’s statements on Muslim immigrants, but 37 percent are in favor of such a ban.

“We believe these numbers are made up of some people who are truly expressing religious bigotry and others who are fearful about terrorism and are willing to do anything they think might make us safer,” Doug Usher, who runs polling for Washington-based Purple Strategies, told Bloomberg of the findings.
