The Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll found that around 26% of respondents said the ban made them feel “less safe” while 33% said that it would not make any difference to their safety, CNBC reports. Thirty-one percent said that they did feel safer because of the measures, [which have triggered numerous national protests](http://time.com/4652918/donald-trump-immigration-ban-muslim-protests/?iid=sr-link1). The poll also found that approximately one in two Americans supported the restrictions, which include barring all refugees from U.S. entry for 120 days. President Trump had said when introducing the measures that they would help protect the U.S. from terrorism. \[[CNBC](http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/01/only-a-third-of-americans-think-trumps-travel-ban-will-make-them-safer.html)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4656280/donald-trump-immigration-ban-poll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4656280/donald-trump-immigration-ban-poll/"},"headline":"Most Americans Don’t Think President Trump’s Immigration Ban Will Make Them Safer","datePublished":"2017-02-01T13:07:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T03:04:01.409Z","description":"Despite President Trump's claims, most Americans don't think the immigration ban makes them safer","url":"https://time.com/4656280/donald-trump-immigration-ban-poll/","keywords":["Donald Trump","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt742198f8ba35c2bc/6988b8440a4a2244da9ccc93/gettyimages-632596958.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zamira Rahim","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zamira-rahim/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt742198f8ba35c2bc/6988b8440a4a2244da9ccc93/gettyimages-632596958.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President Trump Signs Executive Order In The Oval Office","caption":"President Trump Signs Executive Order In The Oval Office","creditText":"Shawn Thew—Pool—Bloomberg— Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4656280/donald-trump-immigration-ban-poll/","name":"Most Americans Don’t Think President Trump’s Immigration Ban Will Make Them Safer"}}]}] ```
