A Bloomberg Politics poll out Wednesday reveals that Donald Trump's controversial plan to ban all Muslims from entering the United States might not lose him many votes in the GOP presidential primary. Just under two-thirds — 65 percent — of likely Republican primary voters say they "favor" the GOP frontrunner's proposal and more than a third say that it "makes them more likely to vote for him," Bloomberg reports.

Among the general voting population, Trump's plan doesn't go over quite so well: 37 percent of likely voters favor Trump's proposal and 50 percent oppose it. Just 18 percent of Democrats support the plan, with 75 percent against it. Since Trump announced the plan Monday, it has elicited widespread condemnation from figures across the political spectrum.
