Trump has 35 percent support in the CBS News/New York Times poll released Thursday. Not surprising, Trump is nineteen points ahead of his nearest challenger Sen. Ted Cruz, who is standing firm with 16 percent support, followed by Ben Carson.

On the establishment side, Sen. Marco Rubio is hanging onto nine percent, which is still three times higher than Jeb Bush’s three percent.

Breitbart reported that poll respondents chose terrorism as their most important issue right now, and Trump has a 40 percent confidence level on that issue with Republicans in the poll.

The surveys that comprise the poll were mostly conducted before Trump’s comment proposing a temporary Muslim travel ban for the United States during this time of war. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt blocked naturalization proceedings for Germans, Japanese, and Italian immigrants on December 8, 1941, the day after the Pearl Harbor attack.
