I already noted that, (in another thread) Morning Consult does omit mentioning in the question the already vetted and green card holders that were also the targets of the EO. Indeed I agree that the wording is important.

Here is the Ipsos poll again:

> TOTAL AGREE - 28%  
> TOTAL DISAGREE - 57%

> [@](#):

> Extent to which you agree or disagree…The United States should open our borders to refugees of foreign conflicts.  
> TOTAL AGREE - 46%  
> TOTAL DISAGREE - 42%

And that is while at the same time just more than half do approve of preventing the terrorist from the conflicted nations to come to the USA. IMHO the part of the poll that was just reported is just what everyone should agree, what everyone should not ignore is that most people also does think that the EO points to a good direction, but that at the same time was very stupid on how to setup that ban and stupid about who to include in the net.
