Poll: Is government reducing terrorism threats?
SAN FRANCISCO - (INT) – To no one’s surprise, a statewide poll confirmed that most Californians disapprove of President Trump’s order banning travel to the US by people from six majority Muslim countries.

The Public Policy Institute of California found a sharp partisan divide on the question: 85 percent of Republicans approve, 81 percent of Democrats disapprove, and independents are more likely to disapprove (54%) than approve (42%).

When Californians are asked to assess how Trump is handling terrorism and homeland security, 57 percent disapprove (37% approve).

Most Californians say the federal government is doing very well (19%) or fairly well (38%) at reducing the threat of terrorism. More than half of residents across parties, regions, and demographic groups say the government is doing well. This view is most widely held among Republicans (70%) and residents of the Inland Empire (67%), where the terrorist attack in San Bernardino occurred in December 2015 leaving 14 people dead.
