Ebola Travel Restrictions

According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday, 67% of Americans support restricting the entry into the US of those arriving from Ebola-outbreak nations of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, reports Newsmax.com. Only 29% oppose travel restrictions.

Ninety-one percent of adults in the survey said they want "stricter screening of people entering the United States who have been in African countries affected by the outbreak."

The results mirror an NBC News poll (October 7) that found "58% of Americans favored banning flights from countries hardest hit by the virus."

Some of the nation's leaders are listening; others are not, reports Newsmax in a related article.

Despite calls from Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and other Republicans, the Obama administration has repeatedly said there will be no travel ban from West African countries stricken by the Ebola virus outbreak.
