Trump, who has alarmed many with a call for barring all Muslims from entering the United States, demoted his proposed ban last week, saying it was “just a suggestion”.
The survey, conducted by Joel Searby at the Gainesville-based firm Data Targeting, also shows that 55 percent favor an independent run for president this year, and 65 percent say that they are at least somewhat, pretty or very willing to support a candidate for president who is not Trump or Clinton. The VP nominees’ records wouldn’t be made public.

The report, similar to one Trump filed earlier, includes more than 45 financial transactions Trump has made since announcing his candidacy on June 16 of past year.
A single fundraising event for Trump Victory could net tens of millions of dollars. Fifteen of these speeches were already reported in Clinton’s 2015 financial disclosure report.
