I don't understand your comment about painting myself into a corner, but the point I was making was that if even democrat voters believe that Muslims are all inherently dangerous, the situation is pretty dire.
The poll below (I've no idea how reliable Bloomberg polls are, so it might be nonsense for all I know) indicates that 18% of democrat voters are now supporting Trump's proposed ban on Muslims entering the US, which was the point I was making above. If you look at Republican voters it's a much higher percentage, and that's coupled with the fact that Trump appears to be leading in the Republican leadership polling at the moment.
