and unless they reconcile themselves to him as the nominee, at a certain point he s going to run into a wall. and he s going to run into that wall in terms of how many voters will actually support him. he can t win the nomination with the 30% of support has right now and he s going to run into an increasingly unified opposition from the entire infrastructure of the party at a certain point. that won t kick in until we actually get zboo into the voting. keep in mind, not a single american has cast a ballot for donald trump yet. all of this entire phenomenon exists in polls being conducted months out from the actual voting. so right now, prominent republicans are still assuming that trump will come back down to earth, but even if he stays at 30%, that s not going to be enough to take him all the way through to the nomination. he started in the high teens then went to 20 then 30, 35 and now up to 38 in some polls. he s been leading every poll for the last four or five months.
we will begin with the u.s. presidential race where donald trump continues to ride a wave of support among supporters. this is in spite, or perhaps because of, speaking out for muslims. the majority of republican voters like his plan to ban u.s. travelers from the u.s. we get more from your political correspondent. reporter: donald trump still looming large over gop field. i m 20 points up, i m way up on everybody. reporter: it s a nation divided over trump s controversial plan to ban uh muslims from coming to the u.s. a new wall street journal/nbc news poll shows 38% of primary voters approve the proposal while 39% oppose it. among all americans, nearly 6 in 10 oppose the plan.
for leaving his post. but in a new interview he said he was trying to be like the fictional character bjason boure to father intel for his team. it seems many party voters may be on trump s side. 42% of the republicans support his proposal to ban muslims from entering the u.s., but most americans are against it. trump announced on thursday if he were president, he would mandate the death penalty for anyone convicted of killing a police officer. it comes on the same day that mr. trump picked up an endor endorsement from a police union in the key state of new hampshire. here s randi kaye. members of the new england police department ben nevaevole association showing support for donald truch, despite the growing list of his inflammatory remarks. does any of that concern you? i think what concerns me for my members is we have a president of the united states who has no respect for law
