Presidential Proclamation 9723
Executive Order 13780, titled Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States, was an executive order signed by United States President Donald Trump on March 6, 2017. It placed a 90-day restriction on entry to the U.S. by nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, and barred entry for all refugees who did not possess either a visa or valid travel documents for 120 days. This executive order—sometimes called " Travel Ban 2.0"—revoked and replaced Executive Order 13769 issued on January 27, 2017. The order was challenged in court by several states.

All Adults
Voter segments in political polling in the United States consist of all adults, registered voters, and likely voters.
