Whoa: Poll shows bar on Muslim migration has wide majority support — in Europe
POSTED AT 8:01 PM ON FEBRUARY 8, 2017 BY ED MORRISSEY
Political leaders have reacted to Donald Trump’s executive order on a pause in entries from seven nations with alarm — but perhaps they should be more alarmed at their own electorates (https://www.chathamhouse.org/expert/comment/what-do-europeans-think-about-muslim-immigration). Think tank Chatham House conducted polls in ten core European nations, and found wide majority support in eight of the ten for a total bar on immigration from all majority-Muslim nations — and not just a temporary pause, either. The overall approval for such a policy across all ten nations is better than 2-1 (via Francis X. Rocca (https://twitter.com/FrancisXRocca/status/829395684306669573)):
Amid these competing views, where do the public in European countries stand on the specific issue of Muslim immigration? There is evidence to suggest that both Trump and these radical right-wing parties reflect an underlying reservoir of public support.
Drawing on a unique, new Chatham House survey of more than 10,000 people from 10 European states, we can throw new light on what people think about migration from mainly Muslim countries. Our results are striking and sobering. They suggest that public opposition to any further migration from predominantly Muslim states is by no means confined to Trump’s electorate in the US but is fairly widespread.
In our survey, carried out before President Trump’s executive order was announced, respondents were given the following statement: ‘All further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped’. They were then asked to what extent did they agree or disagree with this statement. Overall, across all 10 of the European countries an average of 55% agreed that all further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped, 25% neither agreed nor disagreed and 20% disagreed.
Majorities in all but two of the ten states agreed, ranging from 71% in Poland, 65% in Austria, 53% in Germany and 51% in Italy to 47% in the United Kingdom and 41% in Spain. In no country did the percentage that disagreed surpass 32%.
Just what is Chatham House? Its official name is actually The Royal Institute of International Affairs, and the University of Pennsylvania ranked it (http://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1009&context=think_tanks) as the most prominent think tank outside the US. It’s not a fly-by-night organization nor one oriented to support this particular position.
Chatham House also created this graphic to demonstrate the wide and strong appeal among European nations for ending migration. Note too that the question asked is both unambiguous and decidedly not time limited, as Trump’s EO is:
