Trump is the GOP front runner nationally and in New Hampshire, according to polls.
But when an array of Republican leaders criticised his Muslim remarks virtually en masse, Mr Trump warned he could launch a third-party campaign. In 2000, almost 80 percent of American Muslims voted for George W. Bush.
“One of the first things I do in terms of executive order if I win will be to sign a strong, strong statement that will go out to the country, out to the world, that anybody killing a policeman, policewoman, police officer – death penalty”, he said.
Republican pollster Nicole McCleskey says she thinks most voters see Clinton “as warm and cuddly as a porcupine”. Clinton said she thought that people who were too unsafe to fly on planes should be too risky to own guns – Congress rejected a bill that would have banned people on the no-fly terror watch list from buying firearms last week.

Fifty-five percent said “honest” describes him very or somewhat well and 43 percent said it describes him only slightly or not at all well.
In case only Republican primary voters are included, 38 percent support and 39 percent oppose the plan.

The AP-GfK Poll of 1,007 adults, including 333 Republican and Republican leaning registered voters, was conducted online December 3-7, using a sample drawn from GfK’s probability-based KnowledgePanel, which is created to be representative of the US population. The CBS/New York Times survey, for example, found that about 4 in 10 voters said they were afraid of what Trump might do if elected, while another quarter expressed concern.
