Thirty-two percent of the polled said Trump would best handle Islamic State, while 16 percent said former Florida governor and younger brother and son of two former US presidents Jeb Bush would, CNN/ORC poll revealed.

Trump to Deport All Undocumented Migrants From United States as President
On Sunday, Trump released a detailed immigration plan after he came under fire earlier in his campaign for calling illegal immigrants from Mexico ‘rapists’ and blamed them for bringing crime and drugs to the country.

In his plan, Trump proposed making Mexico pay for a permanent border wall along the two countries, mandatory returns of all criminal immigrants, penalties for Mexicans overstaying a US visa as well as ending birthright citizenship.

In several of the latest presidential polls, Trump continues to lead amongst other Republican candidates often trailing ahead of Bush.

The US presidential election is scheduled for November 8, 2016.
