With leading GOP presidential candidate Donald J. Trump calling for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, a new survey released today finds that Americans are increasingly concerned about terrorism, yet remain open to accepting Syrian refugees into the U.S. Forty-seven percent of Americans are worried that they or a member of their family will be a victim of terrorism—up from 33 percent who expressed this fear one year ago. At the same time, 53 percent say that the United States should allow in refugees from Syria if they go through a security clearance process. CONT.
